2021 Map of Huntsman Ranch

About this map

The Adobe Range dominates the eastern landscape of this Elko County terrain, where high desert elevations dictate the flow of seasonal and perennial waters. Historically significant, the Greenhorn Cutoff traverses the southwestern portion of the map, marking a traditional route for early travelers heading through the Great Basin. This desert environment is defined by its vital water sources, including the thermal activity at Hot Springs and reliable points like Lower Dry Susie Spring. Drainage patterns are carved by Susie Cr and its tributaries such as Dry Susie Cr, while Maggie Cr clips the southwestern corner. The map illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by the relief of the peaks and the intermittent nature of its waterways like Dry Gulch, highlighting the geographical challenges faced by those moving through the Nevada interior.
