1990 Map of Buffalo Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Buffalo Ranch sits at the base of the Tobin Range, serving as a primary point of human activity in this arid basin. This landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage patterns, where steep ravines like Morning View Canyon, Frank Canyon, and North Indian Creek carry seasonal runoff from the high peaks into the expansive Buffalo Valley. The topographical transition is abrupt, moving from the deeply etched Wood Canyon to the flat eastern expanse dominated by a large Dry Lake. This hydrographic arrangement, centered on the reliable Buffalo Springs, reflects a long history of water management in Nevada's high desert. The map captures the isolation of ranching operations in Pershing County, where named features often correspond to vital water sources like Big Creek and Dry Creek that sustain the region's cattle and wildlife.
