1980 Map of Fox Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Granite Range peaks dominate this high-desert terrain of northwestern Nevada, where water sources define the limited human footprint. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the area supported a specialized landscape of ranching and communication, anchored by the Grass Valley Ranch and its nearby Grass Valley Reservoir. The map reveals a network of vital water points with evocative local names such as Potato Patch Spring, 75 Dollar Spring, and Mahogany Troughs Spring. Small-scale infrastructure like the Landing Field and a high-elevation Radio Facility on Lookout Mountain suggest the remote coordination required for land management in Washoe County. This survey traces the rugged drainage patterns of Cottonwood Creek and No Savvy Creek, providing a detailed record of the springs and jeep trails that once served as the primary transit routes through these interior basins.
