1980 Map of Black Spring NW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Ione Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Nye County, flanked to the east by the rising slopes of the Shoshone Mountains. This 1980 edition, based on field work from the mid-1970s, illustrates the drainage patterns of the Great Basin, where Ione Wash and Cottonwood Creek flow through the arid basin floor. The northeastern portion of the map is defined by the protected boundary of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the terrain transitions into the steeper elevations of Indian Canyon. Human activity is marked primarily by infrastructure suited for remote exploration, including a network of Jeep Trails and a designated Borrow Pit. The map captures a moment of topographical precision just before the digital era, detailing the precise contours of this expansive Nevada valley and its mountain backdrop.
