2018 Map of Star Creek Ranch

About this map

Star Creek Ranch sits along the western margins of the Buena Vista Valley, a high desert landscape where the steep drainage of the Humboldt Range meets the valley floor. The geography is defined by a series of prominent canyons that cut through the terrain, including Sacred Canyon, Tehama Canyon, and the strikingly named Bloody Canyon. These features illustrate the local hydrology, where seasonal flows from Star Cr and other mountain runs provide vital water for ranching operations in an otherwise arid basin. Transportation throughout this portion of Pershing County relies on a network of unpaved roads such as Dun Glen-Star City Rd and Dun Glen-Unionville Rd, which trace the historical routes between mining districts and homesteads. North of the ranch, Dun Glen Flat marks a broad expanse near Creek Hill, showing the transition from the rugged peaks of t31n r34e to the flatter plains of t32n r35e.
