1967 Map of Buckwheat Rim

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Hot Creek Valley dominates this 1967 survey, illustrating the stark geography of the high desert along the border of the Pancake Range. The landscape is defined by dramatic geological formations, including the sheer drop of Buckwheat Rim and the expansive Palisade Mesa. Human presence is minimal and functional, centered on the Blue Jay Hy Maintenance Sta and isolated industrial markers like the Gravel Pits in the northwest. Water sources are scarce in this arid basin, with Rays Well serving as a vital landmark for desert navigation. Developed in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the map meticulously records the complex relief of the Monocline and the drainage patterns of Hot Creek, capturing the area as it appeared during a period of significant federal land survey activity in central Nevada.
