2015 Map of West of Lovelock

About this map

Perth serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, where the flatlands of the Humboldt River valley meet the rising terrain of the Trinity Range. The map reveals an intricate network of water management essential for ranching and agriculture, featuring the Taylor Canal, Lower Taylor Ditch, and Willow Slough. These man-made and natural watercourses define the lower elevations, supporting local holdings like those found along Big Meadow Ranch Rd. Historical burial sites, including Lone Mountain Cem and Big Meadow Cem, provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research in Pershing County. Rising above the valley floor, Lone Mtn stands as a prominent landmark near the junction of NV-399 and Lone Mountain Rd, marking the transition from irrigated ranch land to the more arid western interior accessed by Seven Troughs Rd.
