1956 Map of Fales Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Fales Hot Springs and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Sweetwater Mountains define this mid-century survey of the California-Nevada border. The map highlights a landscape dominated by the Toiyabe National Forest, where a sparse network of mountain roads connects remote outposts like Hardy Station and the Sonora Junction. The region's mining legacy is visible through clustered workings such as the Kentucky Mine, Tiger Mines, and Angelo Mission Mine, most situated in the eastern canyons. Water is central to the local geography, from the West Walker River to high-elevation lakes like Emma Lake and the Bridgeport Reservoir on the southern edge. Seasonal and agricultural land use is marked by several cattle camps and cabins, including the Little Walker Cowcamp and Rickey Cabin, reflecting the area's history of high-country ranching and transit across the Sierra passes.
