Smoke Creek Ranch sits at the western edge of this High Desert landscape, situated near the California-Nevada state line and the border between Lassen and Washoe Counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the basin floor to the peak of Burro Mtn in the east. This 2014 survey documents a network of seasonal water sources and livestock infrastructure essential for ranching in the Great Basin, including the Jenkins Troughs and various drainages such as Smoke Creek, Burro Creek, and South Fork Rush Creek. Transportation through the area is limited to rugged corridors like Smoke Creek Road, Burro Mountain Road, and Surprise Valley Road, reflecting the sparse settlement and functional land use of this border region.
