2011 Map of Juniper Springs

About this map

Lost Creek Ranch anchors this high-desert landscape in northwestern Nevada, situated where several intermittent drainages converge. The importance of water management in this arid environment is evident by the presence of the Lower Wall Canyon Reservoir in the northwest, which captures runoff from Wall Creek as it flows through Wall Canyon. The map records a series of vital water sources including Juniper Springs and Cherry Springs, which likely served as crucial landmarks for ranching operations and travel. Low-impact roads like Lost Creek Rd and Old Camp Canyon Rd navigate the terrain, skirting the base of Round Mountain. This area represents a typical Great Basin ranching footprint where human activity follows the seasonal flow of Cherry Creek and Lost Creek.
