About this map

Truman Meadows and the high desert basins along the Nevada-California border define this 2012 survey. The landscape is marked by a series of critical water sources, including Truman Spring, Sagehen Spring, and McBride Springs, which have historically supported ranching operations in this arid environment. The map shows the Bramlette Ranch situated within Benton Valley, connected by Bramlett Ranch Rd and Foothill Rd.

Canyons and mountain ranges dictate the flow of the terrain, from the Huntoon Mountains in the north to the depths of West Queen Canyon and Buffalo Canyon. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the region, where seasonal drainages like Hutchinson Cr and Morris Creek cut through Queen Valley and McBride Flat. The presence of these named flats and meadows suggests a long history of high-altitude grazing and transit between the two states.
