1966 Map of Dixie Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Dixie stands at the edge of the Humboldt Salt Marsh in this 1960s survey of Churchill County. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the arid floor of Dixie Valley to the steep canyons of the Stillwater Range. Resource extraction is evident throughout the terrain, with several mining operations including the Buena Vista Mine and Silver Range Mine tucked into the slopes. The presence of Coppereid Ruins and the Anderson Ranch points to a history of ephemeral settlement tied to the region's scattered water sources like Dixie Hot Springs and Eagle Springs. A visible Fault Scarp running along the valley floor highlights the active tectonic nature of this Great Basin environment, where seasonal drainages such as Copper Kettle Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon carve through the mountains toward the Alkali Flat.
