About this map

Bog Hot Valley straddles the high-desert borderlands of Nevada and Oregon, where thermal activity and seasonal water define the landscape. This 1990 provisional sheet captures the intersection of the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge and the southern reaches of the Pueblo Mountains. The presence of Bog Hot Springs and Bog Hot Reservoir highlights the critical role of water management in this arid environment, supporting the isolated Bog Hot Ranch and local wildlife populations.

Drainage systems like Long Draw, Rincon Creek, and the expansive Thousand Creek provide a blueprint of the region's complex hydrology. Notable landmarks such as Railroad Point and Big Spring Table serve as distinct navigational markers in a territory characterized by significant elevation changes. This survey is particularly useful for tracking land use and resource locations, including a Gravel Pit and various springs like Warm Springs and Cold Spring.
