2018 Map of Paradise Valley

About this map

Paradise Valley sits at the eastern edge of the Santa Rosa Range, where mountain drainages give way to a complex network of wetlands and irrigation. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined by water management and high-desert ranching, with Big Cottonwood Cr and Martin Cr feeding into Adams Slough. To the west, the elevations rise sharply into the Humboldt National Forest, where steep canyons like Provo Canyon and landmarks such as Trap Butte overlook the valley floor. The map traces the rural infrastructure of the region, from Bridge St in the town center to several forest development roads that penetrate the rugged interior of the range. The transition between the arid slopes and the riparian valley floor is marked by numerous perennial and seasonal streams, including Stone House Cr and Wash O'Neal Cr, reflecting the vital hydrology of this Nevada basin.
