1966 Map of Barrel Springs

About this map

Oregon Nevada and California Nevada state lines converge in this 1960s survey of a high-desert landscape. The isolated settlement of Susila sits at a junction of valley routes, surrounded by a complex network of seasonal water sources including Barrel Springs and Horse Creek. These water points were critical for livestock and travel through the arid high country of Washoe County. The terrain is marked by numerous unnamed Springs and the drainage of Twelvemile Creek, reflecting a region where geography is defined by access to water. Human impact on the land is represented by a solitary Gravel Pit and a web of Jeep Trails that traverse the ridges and basins, indicating the continued use of this remote borderland for ranching or exploration.
