2021 Map of Star Creek Ranch

About this map

Buena Vista Valley and the surrounding high desert topography of Pershing County define this western Nevada landscape. The terrain is deeply incised by drainage systems that have carved prominent features such as Star Canyon, Bloody Canyon, and Tehama Canyon. These seasonal watercourses flow eastward from the high peaks toward the broad expanses of Dun Glen Flat, illustrating the typical Great Basin drainage pattern where water remains within interior basins rather than reaching the sea. The map traces historical transit corridors like the Dun Glen-Unionville Rd, which historically linked early mining and ranching outposts across this arid region. From the summit of Creek Hill down to the intersection with State Hwy 400, the land use remains predominantly focused on remote ranching operations, such as those accessed via Willow Creek Ranch Rd.
