1987 Map of Allen Springs

About this map

Allen Springs and Lee Hot Springs serve as primary landmarks in this arid Nevada landscape, which is dominated by the overlapping boundaries of the U S Naval Reservation and the Walker River Indian Reservation. The geography is defined by terminal basins and prominent ranges, including the White Throne Mountains to the north and the Blow Sand Mountains to the east. Evidence of early mineral exploration is scattered throughout the hills, noted by several Prospects and a singular Mine Shaft. The presence of Alkali Flats and the uniquely named Stinking Springs underscores the geothermal and evaporative nature of this high desert terrain in the late 20th century. High-voltage Trans Lines and 4WD tracks represent the limited modern infrastructure crossing through Russell Pass.
