1987 Map of Kious Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Great Basin National Park and the Humboldt National Forest converge in this high-altitude corner of White Pine County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, where prominent landmarks like Standing Snake Pinnacle and Castle Butte rise above deep drainages. The drainage system is particularly complex, featuring the North Fork Snake Creek, South Fork Snake Creek, and the long reach of Big Wash to the south. Historically, the area supported small-scale mining operations, evidenced by the Pollack Mine in Pollack Canyon and the Bonita Mine located further south near Snake Creek. Numerous water sources, including Kious Spring, Tilford Spring, and Mahogany Spring, provide vital points of reference in an otherwise arid environment characterized by names like Cave Canyon and Granite Basin.
