2021 Map of Riverside Ranch

About this map

Pretty Cr and Dry Cr carve through the arid high-desert landscape of Humboldt County, defining the drainage patterns of this remote Nevada corner. The terrain is marked by the presence of Hoppin Spring, a critical water source in a region where reliable moisture is scarce. These features reflect the stark hydrology of the Great Basin, where seasonal creeks and isolated springs dictated the routes of early travelers and the placement of remote ranching operations. The mapping of these small watercourses and springs provides essential data for understanding the historical and ecological connectivity of the Quinn River Valley basin.
