2011 Map of Parker Butte

About this map

The Walker River meanders through the southern portion of this Lyon County landscape, creating a fertile corridor for ranching operations in an otherwise arid region. Named family-held properties such as JJ Ranch and Parker Ranch are situated along the riverbanks, marking the established agricultural footprint of the area. Further south, the settlement of Lux sits near the river's edge, highlighting the historical reliance of local communities on this vital water source. The terrain is anchored by the prominent rise of Parker Butte, which dominates the local topography south of the river. Infrastructure like Powerline Rd and Julian Ln cut through the open spaces, while Black Point Spring provides a distinct hydrological point of interest in the higher ground north of the river's path.
