1990 Map of Dixie Hot Springs NE

About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates this Churchill County landscape, rising sharply from the floor of Dixie Valley to the east. This 1990 provisional survey captures a high-desert environment defined by resource extraction and sparse ranching outposts. Anderson Ranch serves as a primary human landmark amidst a complex drainage network that includes Hughes Canyon and White Rock Canyon. The terrain shows significant evidence of mineral exploration, with an Open Pit Mine and various prospect locations indicating the area's geological value. Access to these higher elevations is documented via a traditional Pack Trail and other unimproved routes, reflecting the region's isolated character. Further south, Iron Hat Canyon and Copper Kettle Canyon cut through the western slopes, illustrating the dramatic erosion patterns common to this part of Nevada.
