About this map

The Hot Springs Range dominates this mid-century Nevada landscape, centered on the prominence of Hot Springs Peak. To the east and west, the terrain transitions into the broad basins of Eden Valley and Paradise Valley, respectively. The mapping reflects a rugged high-desert ranching economy, with scattered operations such as the Stocks Farming Company Ranch and Hot Springs Ranch utilizing the drainage of the Little Humboldt River.

Hydrological management is evident through features like the Ditch and Reservoir near Reinharts, alongside a Gaging Sta on the river. Transport is limited to unimproved tracks and named local routes such as Hardscrabble Lane and Shelton Lane. Evidence of mineral exploration appears in the form of several Prospects scattered across the slopes near Bone Canyon, hinting at the region's enduring mining interest during the post-war era.
