1980 Map of Fraser Flat

About this map

Warm Springs Valley serves as a central corridor for this arid Nevada basin, bounded by the Pah Rah Range to the east and the peaks of Dogskin Mountain to the northwest. The landscape in 1980 reflects a pattern of sparse cattle ranching and early prospecting, marked by various Corral sites and the Ruth Mine located on the slopes above Mullen Creek. The presence of several named water sources, such as Coyote Spring and Butler Spring, indicates the critical importance of water rights in this high-desert environment.
