2012 Map of Ravens Nest

About this map

The high desert terrain of the Piñon Range dominates this corner of Nevada, where the sparse landscape is punctuated by isolated water sources and remote ranches. In this arid environment, the presence of perennial and seasonal water is the primary driver of human activity, as seen at Webb Ranch and the eponymous Ravens Nest settlement. The hydrology is defined by the winding paths of Ferdelford Creek and Webb Creek, which cut through the shadows of Pine Mountain and Bunker Hill. Numerous isolated springs, such as Stump Spring, Murdock Spring, and Cherry Springs, serve as critical landmarks in a region defined by high-altitude ranching and rugged topography.
