About this map

Warm Springs and the surrounding Warm Springs Valley define this landscape north of Reno, where the high desert terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural airfields and ranching roads. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of remote residential development and private aviation, evidenced by facilities like the Flying Eagle Airport, Gibb Ranch Airport, and Rolling Thunder Airport. These sites are linked by a network of distinctly named thoroughfares such as Wright Bros Way and Rebel Cause RD.

To the south, the topography rises toward Kimberly Hill and Twentyone Mile Hill, overlooking the broad expanse of Bacon Rind Flat. Water sources remain critical landmarks in this arid environment, with several labeled points such as Butler Spring, Coyote Spring, and Hungry Spring providing key reference points for those studying local land use. Smaller settlements like Hungry Junction and RidgeHouse Ranch sit tucked between the Hungry Range and the Curnow Range, showing how modern habitation follows the natural contours of the northern Nevada valleys.
