2021 Map of Kyle Hot Springs

About this map

Kyle Hot Springs sits at the base of the mountains along the eastern edge of the Buena Vista Valley, a focal point in this arid Pershing County landscape. This 2021 survey details the network of desert roads, including Kyle Hot Springs Rd and Leach Canyon Rd, that navigate the alluvial fans and drainage systems of the Humboldt Range. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes where deep cuts like Klondike Canyon, Harrison Canyon, and Reed Canyon spill out into the valley floor. To the west, the ephemeral courses of Buena Vista Cr and Phelps Cr underscore the water-dependent settlement patterns of the Great Basin, where geological features and thermal springs historically dictated the location of stops and small outposts in an otherwise demanding environment.
