1967 Map of Buckwheat Rim

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Hot Creek Valley and the eastern slopes of the Pancake Range dominate this 1967 landscape in Nye County. The survey provides a clear view of the structural geology in this part of the Great Basin, highlighting a prominent Monocline and the sheer escarpment of Palisade Mesa above Buckwheat Rim. Human activity is sparse and focused on infrastructure and survival in the arid environment. The Blue Jay Hy Maintenance Sta sits near the northwestern corner, serving the remote road network, while Rays Well and the ephemeral Hot Creek trace the limited water resources available to the region. Traces of industrial use appear as Gravel Pits located on the western edge of the valley, while the heights of Buckskin Pt overlook the expansive desert floor.
