About this map

Stonehouse serves as the focal point of this Nevada landscape, where the high desert terrain of White Pine County meets the vital drainage of Spring Valley Cr. The 2012 survey illustrates a classic Great Basin ranching pattern, with isolated homesteads such as Bews Ranch, Rosenlund Ranch, and the D Henriod Ranch positioned near canyon mouths and seasonal water sources. These family-named landmarks are connected by a network of rural routes, including Co RD 31 and the evocatively named Whiskey Rd.

Hydrology is the defining element of this region, evidenced by numerous named water sources like Golden Springs, Crystal Spring, and Twin Springs. These features, along with McCurdy Cr, provide the lifeblood for the ranching operations situated between the steep walls of Garrett Canyon and Stage Canyon. The map offers an intricate view of land use where the flat valley floor transitions into the complex drainage systems of Spring Gulch and Mud Springs Draw.
