2012 Map of Wadsworth Ranch

About this map

Isolated ranchsteads and scattered water sources define this high-desert portion of Nye County in the early 21st century. The landscape is marked by the presence of Wadsworth Ranch, Uhalde Ranch, and Walch Ranch, which serve as the primary human settlements in an area dominated by dry washes and seasonal creeks. Life here is tethered to vital water points such as Modes Hole Spring, Battaman Spring, and the Garden Valley Reservoir Number 1. This map reveals a complex network of forest and ranch roads, including the National Forest Dev Rd and Pine Creek Rd, which navigate the terrain between Mystery Mountain and the deep cut of Cherry Canyon. The drainage patterns of Pine Cr, Sand Cr, and Cottonwood Cr provide the physical structure for the region's limited agricultural and pastoral activity.
