2015 Map of Twelvemile Ranch

About this map

Twelvemile Ranch anchors this high-desert landscape in Elko County, situated near the convergence of Thousand Springs Creek and Crittenden Creek. The 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by significant drainage systems and ridgelines, particularly where the Goose Creek Mountains rise in the northeast. The name Twelvemile Canyon appears twice—both as a prominent physical feature and as a designated road, tracing the natural path of the water through the hills. To the south, Red Hot Spring offers a rare hydrographic landmark in this arid basin. This map serves as an essential record of rural Nevada ranching infrastructure, documenting the remote access roads like CR-765 and CR-766 that connect these isolated water sources and homesteads across the townships of T41N and T42N.
