2014 Map of San Antonio Ranch

About this map

San Antonio Ranch serves as a lone point of settlement within the expansive Big Smoky Valley in Nye County. This high-desert landscape is defined by its intermittent water sources and historic transit lines. The Fremont Route traverses the terrain, marking a corridor of historical significance that follows the natural drainage of Peavine Cr. The presence of Indian Springs highlights the critical role of reliable water in this arid environment, providing a focal point for activity in an otherwise sparsely populated area. Modern infrastructure is represented by Anaconda Rd, which cuts across the valley floor. The map details the complex drainage patterns of ephemeral streams like Cottonwood Cr, illustrating how the geography dictated the placement of early ranching outposts and travel ways.
