Vogel Weiss Ranch is found east of the road to Soldier Meadows, south of Wheeler Ranch.

J. F. Vogel and Edward Weiss are listed in the 1925 Washoe County Directory. It could be that they co-owned the Vogel Weiss Ranch.

In 1942, several residents were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought by the Federal Government to establish the Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range. The amount of land is listed as 669,700 acres. Named in the suite are Samuel K. Johnstone, Walter A. Johnstone, M?nnie Johnstone, (Johnstone Spring?), Estate of George Sweeney, Edwin E. Van Riper, Ben Cassidy (Cassidy Mine?), Fred Vogel, R. R. Whittier, John Doe De Voe, Albert Comes, A. D. Ramel, Walter L. Lowe, G. R. Simpson, Dorthy M. L. Simpson, and Ed Thompson.[1]
