1979 Map of Chester Lyons Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Chester Lyons Spring and other scattered water sources define the survival patterns in this arid corner of Washoe County during the late 1970s. The landscape is marked by the vital necessity of water in high-desert ranching and transit, evidenced by named sites such as Findman Spring, Gillam Spring, and a strategically placed Water Tank. Human habitation is sparse, centered on the Cavin Place, while movement across the terrain is facilitated by a network of primitive tracks and Jeep Trails. Drainage patterns are carved by seasonal flows like Cottonwood Creek and Jims Creek, which feed into the broader basin of Grass Valley. This survey captures the isolated character of the Nevada backcountry before modern infrastructure altered the traditional reliance on these specific, named springs and wells.
