2011 Map of Orovada

About this map

The high desert agriculture of the Quinn River Valley defines this 2011 survey of northern Nevada. At the center of this landscape sits Orovada, where the Orovada Post Office serves a community anchored by dispersed homesteads and aviation at the Pine Grove Airport. The settlement pattern reflects the enduring importance of ranching in Humboldt County, marked by established operations such as Rebel Creek Ranch, Golden Acres Ranch, and Buffalo Ranch. Water management is evident through a network of drainages descending from the heights of Sawtooth Mountain to the east, including Rebel Creek and Antelope Creek. Historically significant routes like Old Hwy 95 and Rebel Cr Rd provide the primary infrastructure through these wide basins, connecting remote family-named landmarks like Buffalo Meadows and the Rebel Creek Post Office to the regional grid.
