2018 Map of Thirtymile Ranch

About this map

Thirtymile Ranch sits as a primary point of human activity in this arid basin-and-range landscape, where water management is dictated by features like Thirtymile Spring and Summit Spring. The map documents a rugged interior of White Pine County, characterized by the convergence of several high valleys, including Queue Valley and Butte Valley. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as the Butte Mountains and the distinct peak of Sugarloaf to the west. Transportation through the area relies on a network of unpaved routes including White Pine Co Road 17 and the long Thirty Mile Rd, which track through drainage systems like White Sage Wash. The topography between Robbers Roost Ridge and Red Pepper Butte reflects the stark geography of Nevada's high desert cattle ranching country.
