1982 Map of Fish Creek Mts

About this map

Jersey Valley and the Fish Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, where industrial mineral extraction and geothermal features define the rural character. This 1980s-era survey documents several significant mining operations, including the Mt Tobin Mine and Star Pointer Mine, alongside family-named landmarks and historical stations like Home Station Gap. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial valleys such as Pleasant Valley and Buena Vista Valley, separated by steep ranges that reach their peak at Mt Tobin. Geothermal activity is noted at Kyle Hot Springs and Hyder Hot Springs, while water resources like Buffalo Springs and the Reese River provided essential anchors for early ranching and transport routes through the Stillwater Range.
