About this map

Hungry Valley and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of Nevada, where aviation and ranching intersect. The landscape is marked by unique landing sites including the Air Sailing Gliderport, Palomino Airport, and Rolling Thunder Airport, reflecting the region's importance for recreational and private flight. Water remains a critical element for the scattered homesteads, documented through names like Coyote Spring, Willow Spring, and Warm Springs.

Named elevations such as Kimberly Hill and Twentyone Mile Hill rise above the flats, while the Blondell Ranch and Fraser Flat indicate the long-standing agricultural presence in the Palomino Valley area. Notable drainage systems including Mullen Creek and Cottonwood Creek carve through the basin, leading toward landmarks like Rattlesnake Canyon. A network of rural roads with evocative names like Whiskey Springs RD and Winnemucca Ranch RD connects these disparate desert outposts.
