2021 Map of Leach Hot Springs

About this map

Leach Hot Springs and Nelson Hot Spring anchor this high-desert landscape within Grass Valley, where the valley floor meets the rising elevations of the East Range and Goldbanks Hills. The terrain is defined by its thermal features and the logistical requirements of mineral extraction, as evidenced by the network of unpaved access routes including Quicksilver Mines Rd and Spaulding Canyon Rd. This survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates a remote segment of Pershing County where the Public Land Survey System grids—such as t31n r38e—organize the vast open spaces between prominent landmarks like Table Mtn. The map provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure and natural hydrology in a region known for its geothermal activity and mining history.
