Battle Creek Ranch
Battle Creek Ranch is located on the northeast arm of the Black Rock Desert, 8 miles north of Paiute Meadows, 7 miles south of Bartlett Creek.[1]
In 1911, there was a legal case involving firearms at Battle Creek. A Mrs. Herschel apparently owned the ranch.[2]
Miller and Lux sold Paiute Meadows, Battle Creek and Bartlett Creek in 1926 to W.A. Johnstone and son, Sam Johnstone, who in turn sold to Porter in 1945.[3]
