1986 Map of Hot Springs Flat

About this map

Bradys Hot Springs and the surrounding high-desert basin of Churchill County are captured here in the mid-1980s. The landscape is dominated by the vast, arid expanse of the Fortymile Desert and Hot Springs Flat, where geothermal activity is evidenced by several Geothermal Wells and a Sub Station. Evidence of early mining and transit is scattered throughout the terrain, from the many Prospects dotting the Fireball Ridge and Truckee Range to the Old RR Grade cutting through the flats. The map documents the intersection of modern infrastructure and pioneer-era pathways, featuring the Nightingale Interchange alongside the historical settlement of Jessup. This survey provides a precise record of water sources and topographical landmarks across the Alkali Flat and Tolbert Canyon during an era of significant geothermal exploration.
