The eastern slopes of the Independence Mountains define this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, where water remains the primary driver of geography and settlement. Ranching activity is centered around the Saval Ranch, supported by the irrigation infrastructure of the Saval Reservoir and the Ross Reservoir. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal and perennial drainages, including the branching headwaters of Mahala Creek, Gance Creek, and Pie Creek.
