1966 Map of Barrel Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Barrel Springs and the surrounding high desert terrain define this transition zone where the borders of Nevada, Oregon, and California converge. Mapped in the mid-1960s, the landscape is marked by a network of intermittent water sources and ephemeral drainage patterns, including Twelvemile Creek and the shallow basins of Twin Lakes. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous unpaved routes, labeled simply as Trail or Jeep, suggests a working landscape of resource extraction and rugged overland travel. This survey meticulously details the administrative boundaries of the tri-state area, documenting the intersecting lines of Washoe County, Lake County, and Modoc County during a period of minimal development in this corner of the Great Basin.
