1970 Map of Hiko

About this map

Pahranagat Valley serves as a vital green corridor through the arid Nevada landscape, centered on the historic settlement of Hiko. This 1970s record shows a region defined by its scarce but essential water sources, including Hiko Spring and the extensive Key Pittman Wildlife Management Area. The management area encompasses significant water bodies like Nesbitt Lake and Frenchy Lake, which support local ecology and irrigation. To the east, the steep Hiko Range separates the valley from the wide expanse of Six Mile Flat. Local history is anchored by the Hiko Cem and another Cem near the southern boundary, while small-scale mineral interests are evidenced by scattered features like a Prospect and several drill holes. The settlement of Crystal Springs marks the southern junction, where Crystal Spring emerges near the Crystal wash.
