2012 Map of Little Fish Lake

About this map

Hot Creek flows through this high-desert landscape in Nye County, anchoring a series of vital water sources including the Old Dugan Place Hot Spring and Upper Warm Spring. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of the Hot Creek Range to the east and the expansive Little Fish Lake Valley to the west, where Little Fish Lake sits at the northern end. This area illustrates the classic Basin and Range morphology of Nevada, where isolated ranching outposts like the Old Dugan Ranch relied on scattered groundwater points such as Page Springs and Gold Spring. A network of primitive routes, including Natl Forest Develop Road 139 Rd, connects these remote landforms, winding through Box Canyon and across Fourmile Flats.
