1990 Map of East of Snowball Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Little Smoky Valley and the Fish Creek Range dominate this high-desert Nevada landscape, captured in a 1990 provisional study. The terrain is defined by a series of alluvial washes and canyons that drain eastward toward the valley floor, including Willow Creek, Cottonwood Cr, and Snowball Creek. A prominent Fault line runs through the southern portion of the sheet near Big Wash, illustrating the tectonic activity central to the region's geological character. Resource exploration is indicated by a solitary Prospect in the northwest, suggesting mineral interests typical of the Nye County backcountry. The map provides a look at the arid drainage patterns and structural geology before modern developments, showing a largely undisturbed basin-and-range environment where seasonal water flows have shaped the sandy valley bottom.
