2018 Map of San Antonio Ranch SW

About this map

Big Smoky Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, where the drainage patterns of Ione Wash and Peavine Creek illustrate the arid hydrology of the Great Basin. This 2018 survey captures a remote section of the Nye County and Esmeralda County line, tracing a diagonal boundary across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The map is defined by a series of alluvial fans and braided wash channels, reflecting the movement of seasonal water from surrounding highlands into the valley floor. Transportation in this sparsely populated region is limited to essential desert routes like Poleline Rd and Peavine Rd, which navigate the wide expanses between mountain ranges. The Public Land Survey System grid, including t6n r40e and t5n r41e, provides the primary structure for land identification in this open territory.
