1960 Map of Dianas Punch Bowl

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Dianas Punch Bowl (Hot Springs) sits as a thermal landmark within the expansive Monitor Valley, a basin flanked by the high ridges of the Monitor Range and the Toiyabe National Forest. This 1960 survey captures a high-desert landscape defined by its isolated cattle ranches and water sources. Human activity is clustered around essential springs and creeks, evidenced by the presence of Monitor Ranch, Potts Ranch, and Willow Creek Ranch. An airstrip near The Monitor and a network of jeep trails suggest the remote nature of this central Nevada region during the mid-20th century. The topography is meticulously detailed, showing the steep drainages of Ikes Canyon and Black Rock Canyon as they descend toward the flat valley floor where Stoneberger Creek and Willow Creek provide vital drainage for the arid environment.
