2021 Map of Kings River Ranch

About this map

The Bilk Creek Mountains dominate the western half of this quadrangle, giving way to the broad alluvial floor of the Kings River Valley to the east. This landscape represents the high desert transition of Northern Nevada, where seasonal watercourses like Bilk Cr and House Cr descend from steep slopes toward the river. Distinctive landmarks such as Black Canyon and Agate Point provide essential orientation in this remote basin-and-range environment. The presence of Warm Spring and Fivemile Spring highlights the critical role of geothermal and groundwater sources for the ranches and grazing operations that have historically defined this area. Navigating the valley floor, King River RD and Bengoa RD follow the ancient path of the river, linking scattered operations across the vast township divisions of the High Desert.
