1990 Map of Fish Creek Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Fish Creek Basin defines the central topography of this Nevada landscape, framed by the heights of the Fish Creek Mountains to the south. The area is characterized by high-desert hydrology, with numerous Springs and the drainage of Fish Creek and Cottonwood Creek providing the only water in an otherwise arid environment. Evidence of mineral exploration and land use is sparse but present, notably at Daisy Pass where the map labels several Prospects and a Gravel Pit near the Daisy trail. These small-scale excavations suggest the region's history of prospecting during the late 20th century. The presence of a Tank and various unimproved roads indicates the area's continued use for livestock or local resource extraction, even as large portions remain undeveloped.
