2014 Map of Ninemile Ranch

About this map

Ninemile Ranch serves as a primary geographic anchor in this remote high-desert terrain where the borders of Lyon and Mineral counties meet. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Rough Cr and Bodie Cr, which flow toward the northern edge of the map where the East Walker River cuts through the topography. Large portions of the territory are managed as part of the Toiyabe National Forest, showing a transition from open ranching land to protected mountain foothills. Transportation in this area is limited to rugged tracks like Anchorite Pass Rd, reflecting the sparse settlement patterns and the dominance of the natural environment over human infrastructure in this part of the Great Basin.
