2011 Map of Sheep Ranch Springs

About this map

The Kings River meanders through the expansive King River Valley in this northern Nevada landscape. Bordered by the Montana Mountains to the northeast and the Coyote Hills to the south, the area is defined by its water sources and rural transportation network. The namesake Sheep Ranch Springs is a vital landmark in the high desert, located just off Kings River Rd. A sparse grid of roads connects the valley floor, including the long stretches of Ninemile Rd and Valley Rd. Along the eastern edge, Thacker Creek descends from the highlands, while curiosities like Old Hog John Rd point to the local history and naming conventions of Humboldt County ranching country during this early 21st-century period.
