1968 Map of Fish Springs SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Hot Creek Range dominates this central Nevada terrain, its steep ridges and drainages surveyed in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission in the late 1960s. The topography drops sharply into the high desert basin of Little Fish Lake Valley, where the environment is defined by scarce water sources and intermittent washes. Small reliable points of water like Limestone Spring and Meadow Spring are critical markers in this arid landscape. To the southeast, the geography is channeled through Luther Waddles Wash, showing the natural drainage patterns that shaped regional access and grazing during this era of land management. This map serves as a detailed record of the undeveloped interior of Nye County before modern infrastructure changes.
