2014 Map of Granite Peak

About this map

Petersen Mountain and the Granite Peak range dominate this 2014 survey of the Washoe County landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between high peaks and sheltered basins like Middle Red Rock Valley and Little Valley. This area serves as a critical watershed, evidenced by a dense network of water sources including August Spring, Chokecherry Spring, and Bird Spring Juniper Spring. The road network reflects a structured rural development pattern, with numerous named residential circles and ways like Quarterhorse Cir, Cowhide Cir, and Horseshoe Cir branching off Red Rock Rd, suggesting a community tied closely to equestrian or ranch-style living within the basin.
