1979 Map of Hays Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Hays Canyon Range dominates this landscape along the Nevada-California border, revealing a network of remote springs and high peaks that defined movement through this high-desert territory. The survey identifies vital water sources for ranching and travel, from Pick And Shovel Springs No 1 and its companion Pick And Shovel Spring No 2 to the centrally located Indian Pole Camp. The placement of features like Devils Gate and Divine Peak illustrates the natural corridors used to navigate the terrain between Surprise Valley and the interior basins. In the southern portion of the sheet, Indian Valley contains a cluster of hydrologic points including Lower Indian Spring and Upper Indian Springs, indicating a concentration of resource value in an otherwise arid region. Primitive transit is evidenced by numerous jeep trails and the presence of the Lund settlement site at the southwestern edge.
