1969 Map of Hot Creek Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

White River Valley defines the landscape of this region, where water management is critical to the local economy. At the time of this late-1960s survey, a series of water control structures including Tule Field Reservoir, Hay Meadow Reservoir, and Whipple Reservoir were established along the White River. These reservoirs, marked with specific spillway elevations, suggest a carefully regulated irrigation or livestock system within the arid basin. Near the northeastern corner, Hot Creek Butte rises as a prominent landmark overlooking the Forest Moon Ranch and its adjacent Landing Strip. The map also traces a network of perennial and intermittent water sources, such as Moon River Spring, Camp Spring, and the Murphy Meadows River, which provided essential resources for the ranching operations that historically anchored this part of Nye County.
