About this map

Kobeh Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, where drainage patterns from the Monitor Range define the local geography. The map traces the intermittent paths of Kelly Cr, Reynolds Cr, and Pedlar Cr as they move across the basin floor toward Grimes Flat. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring footprint of ranching in the region, centered on the Grimes Ranch and Hodges Ranch homesteads.

Transportation through this arid terrain follows established routes like Monitor Valley Rd and Belmont Rd, which converge near the base of the Grimes Hills. The namesake Jackrabbit Spring represents a vital water point in this landscape of ephemeral creeks and alluvial fans. The arrangement of these cattle ranches and roads reveals how early twentieth-century land use patterns persisted into the modern era, following the available water sources and natural passes between the mountains.
