About this map

Deep Hole and its associated Deephole Ranch stand at the intersection of desert survival and early Nevada settlement on the western edge of the Granite Range. The landscape here is defined by critical water sources like Deep Hole Spring and Gerlach Spring, which sustained travel and ranching operations in a region otherwise dominated by the seasonal flows of Dry Creek. The inclusion of the Deep Hole Post Office suggests the historical importance of this location as a remote hub for communication and supply.

To the south, the terrain descends toward Godeys Rock and Godeys Gap, while the evocative Bloody Point overlooks the arid basins. Land use is represented by isolated outposts such as Lingenfelter Ranch and the settlement labeled Phil, illustrating the dispersed nature of habitation in Washoe County. This survey provides a precise view of the geographic landmarks and ranching infrastructure that have persisted in this corner of the Great Basin into the early twenty-first century.
