Location

Link to roads map.

Torrance Ranch is located on Highway 95, about 120 miles northeast of Las Vegas, just north of Beatty, Nevada.

From Las Vegas, drive north on Highway 95 for about 2 hours to Beatty (Table 1, Site 899). From the stoplight in downtown Beatty, drive north 7.2 miles to Oleo Road, on the right (note: online maps seem to have the names wrong, and street signs may be missing).

Oleo Road is about 1.7 miles past the Hot Springs RV Park (which recently sold, so the name may change), and Oleo Road is the next road past Boiling Pot Road. It is also just past mile marker Nye 67.

From Highway 95, turn right onto Oleo Road (dirt) and drive east for about 50 yards to Torrance Ranch Road, marked by a brown gate on the left (north) side of Oleo Road. A sign next to the gate reads "Torrance Ranch, a Wetland and Wildlife Preserve." Turn left onto Torrance Ranch Road, open the gate, drive in, and close the gate. Drive up the ranch road for about 0.25 miles to the parking area by the old homesite (Site 0627).

When driving south on Highway 95 (e.g., driving south from Tonopah), Fleur De Lis Road is 0.9 miles north of Oleo Road, and the marsh and willow thickets are visible on the left (east) just before getting to Oleo Road.
