The location is not disclosed by the National Register, which describes it as "Address Restricted". However a local archeological club mentions a petroglyph site on the East Walker River that is located "on Barron Hilton's Flying M Ranch", which is likely the same, and describes that it is located about 45 minutes south of Yerington.[2]

Environmental impacts for the National Register-listed district were considered in a 1984 Bureau of Land Management study, a regional planning document.[3]
