2014 Map of San Antonio Ranch SW

About this map

Big Smoky Valley dominates this 2014 geographic study, showcasing the intricate alluvial drainage patterns characteristic of the high desert in Central Nevada. The map captures the meeting point of the Nye and Esmeralda county lines as they cut across the arid landscape. Braided channels and ephemeral flow paths, such as Lone Wash, illustrate the volatile hydrology of the region, where water movemement is shaped by the sloping terrain of the basin. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily defined by the transit corridor of Nv-89 and the unpaved trace of Peavine Rd, which provide access through this expansive valley floor between distant mountain ranges.
