2011 Map of Peavine Ranch

About this map

Peavine Ranch and Upper Peavine Ranch are central landmarks in this high-desert landscape of Nye County. The area is defined by the drainage systems of Peavine Creek and Horse Creek, which carve significant paths through Peavine Canyon and Horse Canyon. These water sources, supplemented by Seyler Spring and Mustang Spring, dictate the placement of ranching outposts and federal infrastructure like the Peavine Forest Service Facility. Modern access follows the Fremont Rte and various forest roads, reflecting a landscape used for both public land management and private ranching. The topographical layout shows how the canyon floors and springs provide the necessary geography for habitation and resource management in an otherwise arid environment.
