1983 Map of Gumboot Lake

About this map

Paradise Valley serves as the central landscape of this 1980s-era survey, where the Little Humboldt River meanders across a wide basin punctuated by an extensive network of human-made water management features. Numerous ditches and a prominent Canal illustrate the region's agricultural reliance on redirected water flow, especially within Dutch Flat. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Hot Springs Range, where high-altitude prospects and mines reflect the area's mineral interests. Rural life is anchored by small outposts like the Stewart Ranch in the north and the cluster of activity at Soderisi near the mountains. The presence of Gumboot Lake and scattered borrow pits emphasizes a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and 20th-century land use in this corner of Nevada.
