2018 Map of Kings River Ranch

About this map

Kings River Ranch and the broader Kings River Valley define this portion of Humboldt County, where agricultural life meets the high desert. The landscape transitions from the riparian corridor of the Kings River to the steep eastern slopes of the Bilk Creek Mountains. This 2018 survey reveals a network of water sources vital to ranching in the Great Basin, including Warm Spring, Fivemile Spring, and the ephemeral courses of Dry Cr and House Cr. The relief is most dramatic in the western half of the map, where Black Canyon and Agate Point rise sharply above the basin floor. Local transportation remains centered on the gravel and dirt arteries of Kings River Rd and Bengoa Rd, which connect these remote operations to the wider region.
