2015 Map of Sheep Ranch Springs

About this map

Kings River Valley serves as the central corridor for this arid landscape in northern Nevada, where the drainage of the Kings River flows south through the high desert. The terrain is defined by the steep elevation of the Montana Mountains in the northeast and the isolated Coyote Hills to the south. This survey illustrates the relationship between the few water sources and the sparse network of ranch roads that traverse the basin. Sheep Ranch Springs provides a critical water point near the mountain slopes, while Thacker Cr flows toward the valley floor from the east. The map details the remote transportation infrastructure of Humboldt County, documenting the routes of Kings River Rd, Coyote Point Rd, and Ninemile Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley and its surrounding ridges.
