1990 Map of Kyle Hot Springs

About this map

Kyle Hot Springs sits at the eastern edge of the Buena Vista Valley, serving as a focal point for this arid Nevada landscape. The map illustrates a transition from the alluvial floor of the valley to the steep drainage systems of Reed Canyon and Harrison Canyon in the north. This region's economy is clearly defined by extraction, with several mining operations visible, including the Star Point Mine and an Open Pit Mine near the Klondike area. The presence of a Transmission Line cutting across the terrain and various Gravel Pits suggests the infrastructure required to support these remote industrial sites. Seasonal water drainage is captured through Buena Vista Creek, which flows through the valley floor, highlighting the importance of rare water sources in the high desert environment.
