2014 Map of Spanish Springs Peak

About this map

Spanish Springs Peak anchors the southern portion of this high-desert landscape within the Pah Rah Range. The map reveals a transition from the established suburban streets of Spanish Springs in the southwest toward the more remote ranching and grazing lands of the Warm Springs Valley to the north. Transportation is defined by a web of rural roads with names suggesting local history, such as Wilcox Ranch Rd and Basque Oven Rd. Important water sources for livestock and wildlife are scattered across the arid terrain, including Wildcat Spring, Curnow Spring, and Wild Horse Spring. The presence of Home Ranch Canyon and several unnamed structures along the road network indicates the enduring footprint of ranching operations in this part of Washoe County.
