2018 Map of Fraser Flat

About this map

Warm Springs and the expansive Warm Springs Valley define this portion of the Nevada landscape, where the terrain transitions from the high peaks of the Hungry Range and Curnow Range to the broad basins of Fraser Flat and Bacon Rind Flat. The 2018 survey reveals a specialized aviation footprint within the valley, featuring several private airstrips including Flying Eagle Airport, Gibb Ranch Airport, and Rolling Thunder Airport. This transportation network is supplemented by a grid of rural roads with evocative names like Whiskey Springs Rd, Rebel Cause Rd, and Jackrabbit Rd, reflecting the localized development of the Palomino Valley area. Water is a critical and sparse resource here, marked by isolated points such as Willow Spring, Coyote Spring, and Hungry Spring. Significant landmarks like Twentyone Mile Hill and Kimberly Hill rise above the flats, providing distinct navigational markers for those tracing the topographic history of Washoe County.
