1962 Map of Buffalo Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Buffalo Valley dominates this high-desert landscape, serving as a vast basin between the high peaks of the Tobin Range to the west and the Fish Creek Mountains to the southeast. Settled activity is concentrated at isolated outposts such as Buffalo Ranch, Indian Ranch, and the Anderson Homestead, highlighting the sparse, ranch-oriented economy of northern Nevada in the early 1960s. A notable geothermal feature, the Buffalo Valley Hot Springs, is located near the center of the valley, while higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks like Squaw Tit and Pinnacle Mtn. The map records a network of rugged Jeep Trails and unnamed trails that connect these remote homesteads through steep drainages like Blue Lead Canyon and Wild Horse Canyon, crossing the divide at Jersey Summit.
