1968 Map of Fish Springs NE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Little Fish Lake Valley dominates this high-altitude terrain in Nye County, flanked by the prominent peaks of the Hot Creek Range and the Antelope Range. The map illustrates a complex drainage network where Sevenmile Wash and Savory Creek converge toward the valley floor, reflecting the arid hydrology of the Great Basin during the late 1960s. To the northwest, the boundary of the Toiyabe National Forest indicates the transition into protected public lands. Human presence is sparse, marked only by essential water infrastructure like a solitary well and a remote spring, alongside seasonal watercourses such as Moonshine Creek and Long Canyon. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, provides a meticulous record of the uninhabited landscape and the Dry Valley drainage before subsequent shifts in land use or environmental change.
