2012 Map of Corcoran Canyon

About this map

Stone House Ranch and Meadow Creek Ranch stand as primary points of habitation in this high-desert region of Nye County. The landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs, including Corcoran Divide Spring and Little Table Mountain Spring, which were vital for sustaining the remote ranching operations. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes, from the flat expanse of Meadow Creek Bench to prominent landmarks like Tooth Rock and the high ridges of Little Table Mountain. Deep incisions in the earth such as Corcoran Canyon, Toll Canyon, and Ryecroft Canyon follow the paths of Corcoran Creek and Meadow Creek, illustrating the erosive forces that have shaped this portion of the Nevada interior. The presence of NFD 445 RD and NFD 005 RD indicates the modern infrastructure used to navigate these traditional grazing lands.
