2021 Map of Ralston

About this map

Goldfield Hills and the Cuprite Hills dominate this high desert landscape along the border of Esmeralda and Nye Counties. The map reveals a sparse infrastructure centered around the settlement of Ralston, where the intersection of US Route 95 and local paths such as E Railroad Springs Rd form the primary transit corridor. To the south, the Lida Junction Airport serves as a remote aviation landmark near the transition to the expansive Stonewall Flat. The ephemeral nature of the water supply is evidenced by the prominent China Wash, which cuts across the arid basin floor, reflecting the harsh environmental conditions that have shaped local settlement and transportation patterns in this portion of the Nevada desert.
