2021 Map of San Antonio Ranch

About this map

Big Smoky Valley dominates the northern reaches of this terrain, where the expansive desert basin meets the drainage systems of the San Antonio Mountains. The map highlights a critical watering point at Indian Springs, a vital resource in this arid environment. Transportation through this part of Nye County is defined by the historic Fremont Rte cutting across the northeastern corner and the more modern Anaconda Rd traversing the eastern slopes. These routes suggest a landscape shaped by both early exploration and later industrial or mining access. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by seasonal watercourses like Peavine Cr and Cottonwood Creek, which flow from the higher elevations toward the valley floor, illustrating the complex hydrography of the Great Basin.
