About this map

The East Walker River carves a winding path through this corner of Nevada, defining a landscape shaped by agricultural water management and high desert terrain. Extensive irrigation infrastructure, including the Strosnider-E Ditch, High Ditch, and both the Upper Charlebois Ditch and Lower Charlebois Ditch, highlights the region's reliance on river diversion for ranching and land use. The presence of the Lantana Ranch Airport underscores the practical connectivity required in these open expanses of Lyon and Mineral counties.

To the south and east, the elevation rises into the Cambridge Hills and the northern reaches of the Toiyabe National Forest. These upland areas contrast with the broad, open spaces of Pine Grove Flat and the depressions of Pumpkin Hollow. This documentation of the 2020s landscape reveals the enduring patterns of remote Nevada ranching, where modern infrastructure like Pine Grove Rd follows traditional routes through the basin and range province.
