2012 Map of Winter Ridge

About this map

Kunz Ranch stands as a primary point of human activity within this high-country landscape near the Nevada-Idaho border. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent elevations, including Iron Mountain, Pin Mountain, and the eponymous Winter Ridge, which rises above a complex drainage system. Water sources such as Moonshine Spring, Bruneau Spring, and Iron Spring are critical markers across this dry environment, feeding into creeks like Salmon Creek and Slaughterhouse Creek. The map reveals a network of land management and grazing history through named open spaces like State Line Meadows, Willis Meadow, and Wagner Field. This early 21st-century record also documents curiously named local landmarks, from the narrow passages of Nip and Tuck Draw and Mustang Draw to the high vantage of Whisky Point and the deep cut of Yankee Bill Gulch.
