1962 Map of Buffalo Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Buffalo Valley stretches between the high ridges of the Tobin Range and the Fish Creek Mountains, serving as a vital corridor for early Basin and Range ranching and travel. This early 1960s survey documents the sparse but critical water sources that dictated life in the high desert, from the thermal waters of Buffalo Valley Hot Springs to the scattered Springs found within rugged cuts like Morning View Canyon and Flag Canyon. Evidence of human occupation is centered on the Buffalo Ranch and the Anderson Homestead, highlighting the persistence of small-scale agriculture in this arid environment. The landscape is further marked by its geological diversity, including the distinctive Pinnacle Mtn and the prominent Jersey Summit, which provides a natural pass into the neighboring Jersey Valley.
