2012 Map of Stone Cabin Ranch SW

About this map

Stone Cabin Valley dominates this high-desert basin in Nye County, revealing a landscape defined by its scarce but vital water sources and sprawling open terrain. The drainage of Willow Creek meanders through the eastern portion of the sheet, tracing a path through the alluvial fans common to this part of the Great Basin. Remote and undeveloped, the area's geography is punctuated by Coyote Hole Spring, a namesake landmark that likely served as a critical waypoint for ranchers and travelers in a region where surface water is a rarity. The map reflects the early 21st-century state of this cattle country, showing a network of unimproved roads and 4WD tracks that provide the only access across the valley floor and toward the surrounding foothills.
