1993 Map of Fish Springs NW

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

The Fish Springs Range rises abruptly from the desert floor in this 1990s record of the Great Basin, where the stark transition between the Mud Flat and life-sustaining water sources defines the landscape. The Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge occupies the southeastern corner, protecting vital wetlands like Harrison Pool and Pintail Pool that have drawn travelers and wildlife to this remote basin for centuries. Historic transportation routes are etched into the terrain, most notably the Pony Express Road which skirts the northern edge of the range near Wilson Health Springs. The northern expanse of the map is dominated by the restricted Dugway Proving Grounds, marking a sharp line between public conservation efforts and military operations. These features together show a place of environmental extremes and strategic isolation.
