About this map

Anderson Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Churchill County, representing the persistent ranching operations that define this part of the Nevada interior. The terrain is marked by a complex network of ephemeral drainages that converge from the surrounding highlands, notably through Iron Hat Canyon in the southeast. Transportation through this arid basin relies on the Coal Canyon-Stillwater Rd, which skirts the western edge of the mountains to connect disparate ranching outposts like the Bar A-3 Ranch. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern configuration of these historic grazing lands, where water access and primitive road networks dictate the placement of human activity amidst the vast alluvial fans and rugged desert topography.
