2018 Map of San Antonio Ranch

About this map

San Antonio Ranch serves as a lone outpost in this 2018 survey of Nye County, located where the desert plains meet the eastern edge of the Big Smoky Valley. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, featuring the winding ephemeral paths of Peavine Creek and Cottonwood Creek as they drain toward the valley floor. A critical water source, Indian Springs, is situated east of the ranch, providing a rare point of reliability in this high-desert environment. Transportation through this remote stretch of Nevada relies on established tracks like Anaconda Rd and the Fremont Rte, which cut across the alluvial fans. This map is an essential reference for understanding contemporary land use and water management in a region where historic ranching footprints still dictate the local geography.
