2012 Map of East of Tenabo

About this map

Dean Ranch and D Filippini Ranch anchor this landscape in the northern part of the Great Basin, reflecting the enduring presence of large-scale cattle operations in Lander County. Situated in the expanse of Crescent Valley, the terrain transitions from the low-lying valley floor toward the rising slopes of the Cortez Mountains in the southeast. This 2012 survey illustrates the network of rural roads, such as Ganna Rd and Hilltop Rd, that facilitate access across this high-desert environment. Seasonal drainages including Cooks Creek and Indian Creek trace the natural hydrology of the area, while the deeply incised Mule Canyon and Brock Canyon provide distinct landforms along the mountain front. The map documents the spatial relationship between isolated ranching headquarters and the primary transportation corridors, such as Grass Val-Cortez-Crescent Val.
