Walking Box Ranch, located just west of Searchlight in Clark County, Nevada, was historically operated as a cattle ranch. Originally carved from the massive Rock Springs Land and Cattle Company, the ranch was purchased and occupied by silent film era stars Rex Bell and Clara Bow, beginning in May 1931. The property continued as an operating cattle ranch, under Bell and the subsequent ownership of Karl Weikel, through the 1980s until it was sold to Viceroy Gold Corporation in 1989. Viceroy used the property to access their local mine and rehabilitated the ranch headquarters to serve as an executive retreat. Since the mid-1990s, the property, located in the midst of an expansive desert tortoise conservation area, has changed hands several times and is now owned by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). A complete historical overview of the Walking Box Ranch for the period 1894-present is presented in Appendix A, Historical Overview.
