About this map

Wadsworth Ranch sits at the northern edge of this high-desert basin, where the Humboldt National Forest meets the wide, dry expanse of Garden Valley. The landscape is defined by its water sources, with numerous springs such as Black Spring, Battaman Spring, and Pine Creek Spring scattered across the alluvial fans. These vital points of hydration supported the ranching operations and travelers moving through the territory.

A network of remote roads, including Cherry Creek Rd and Garden Valley Rd, connects the valley floor to the surrounding heights of Mystery Mtn and the depths of Cherry Canyon. To the south, the Garden Valley Reservoir Number 1 serves as a significant marker of water management in an arid environment. The map also delineates the boundary between Nye and Lincoln counties, cutting across the drainages of Pine Cr and Sand Cr.
