1956 Map of Fales Hot Springs

About this map

Fales Hot Springs serves as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the West Walker River and Little Walker River converge. The area’s history is etched into its canyons through a density of mining sites and seasonal outposts, from the Kentucky Mine and Tiger Mines in the east to the Deep Creek Mine in the north. Settlement patterns reflect the resource-based economy of the mid-20th century, documented by the presence of Belfort, Sheeles Camp, and the Little Walker Cowcamp.
