1991 Map of Willow Creek Ranch

About this map

Quinn River Valley dominates this 1991 landscape, where the Quinn River meanders through a broad basin in Nevada's high desert. This provisional survey captures the agricultural and industrial footprint of the region during the late twentieth century, anchored by the Home Ranch and Willow Creek Ranch. The map reveals a working landscape where water management and infrastructure are paramount, evidenced by the prominent Transmission Line and a dedicated Landing Strip servicing these remote outposts. Resource extraction is scattered across the terrain in the form of multiple Borrow Pit sites, a Quarry, and a Gravel Pit. Drainage from the rising terrain to the east is funneled through Willow Creek and Eagle Creek, feeding into the larger valley system and supporting the ranching operations that have long defined this corner of Humboldt County.
