2014 Map of Peavine Ranch

About this map

Peavine Ranch serves as a primary point of human settlement within this high-elevation landscape of Nye County. The terrain is characterized by the deep incisions of Peavine Canyon, Horse Canyon, and Wood Canyon, which cut through the protected lands of the Toiyabe National Forest. Water sources are critical in this environment, with Seyler Spring and Mustang Spring providing essential resources away from the drainage of Peavine Cr. At the southern edge of the survey, the land descends toward the Big Smoky Valley. This modern data collection highlights a network of forest roads and historical paths, most notably the Fremont Route, which traces the lower elevations and suggests the enduring importance of established trails for navigating this complex topography.
