Kumiva Peak and Luxor Peak define the high desert topography of this Washoe County region, where water sources like Mountain Spring and Rock Spring were essential for the survival of early ranching operations. The map documents the persistent human presence in this arid landscape, centered on Cowles Ranch and the long transit corridor of Empire Ranch Rd. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by Jenny Creek, Little Jenny Creek, and the isolated Rosebud Spring to the south. This 2011 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects the modern geographic layout of a territory defined by high peaks and seasonal watercourses, providing a reliable reference for the relationship between the few named ranch sites and the natural spring network.
