2011 Map of Watts

About this map

Reese River and Fish Creek define this arid landscape in central Nevada, where water dictated the location of early ranching and small-scale settlement. The presence of Watts (Historical) indicates a site of earlier activity that has since receded, while Fish Creek Ranch serves as a modern link to the region's enduring agricultural heritage. Roads like Fish Creek Rd provide access through the open terrain, which includes the evocatively named Valley of the Moon. The sparse concentration of named features reflects the expansive nature of Lander County, illustrating how isolated outposts and seasonal waterways formed the backbone of the local geography at the start of the 21st century.
