2011 Map of Soldier Meadow

About this map

Soldier Meadow Ranch stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Humboldt County, where water sources dictate the patterns of settlement and travel. The intersection of Co RD 217 and Leonard Creek Rd provides the primary access through this arid terrain, linking the ranch and the nearby Soldier Meadow Number One Airport to the broader region. The drainage network is well-defined by Soldier Creek, Slumgullion Creek, and Mud Meadow Creek, which draw from the surrounding heights of Trough Mountain. Deep topographic relief is evident in the numerous incisions of Warm Springs Canyon, White Rock Canyon, and Chukar Gulch. Reliable water points such as Clear Springs and Antelope Springs appear as critical landmarks for anyone navigating this portion of the Great Basin, reflecting a classic Western landscape of isolated outposts and seasonal watercourses.
