1967 Map of Fish Springs SE

About this map

Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge occupies a significant portion of this high-desert basin, where a series of spring-fed impoundments contrast sharply with the surrounding arid terrain. The map details several distinct water bodies including Egret Pool, Curlew Pool, and Avocet Pool, highlighting a managed wetland system critical for migratory birds within the otherwise desolate Fish Springs Flat. These pools are flanked by extensive Mud Flats, illustrating the precarious hydrological balance of the Great Basin during the mid-to-late 20th century.
