1990 Map of Buffalo Springs NE

About this map

Buffalo Valley dominates this 1990 provisional study, revealing a sparsely populated desert landscape defined by the shifting boundaries of the Dry Lake Shoreline. Situated along the border of Pershing and Lander Counties, the map documents the essential water sources that sustained early ranching or travel in this arid Great Basin environment. While the terrain is largely undeveloped, the placement of isolated features like Springs, a lone Spring, and a Well indicates the critical locations where groundwater could be reached. This survey, compiled from 1957 and 1985 aerial photographs, preserves the exact coordinate points and elevation markers of a region where the natural topography remains the primary record of human movement and boundary lines.
