1980 Map of Lost Creek Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Lost Creek Pass serves as a critical geographic navigation point in this high-desert region of Washoe County during the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by its water sources, essential for ranching and survival in the arid Great Basin, with features like Lost Creek Troughs, Cherry Springs, and the seasonal flow of No Savvy Creek providing vital infrastructure. The terrain is marked by significant landmarks such as Devils Gate and the broad expanse of Duck Flat to the south. This survey reveals a network of primitive transportation, primarily a Jeep Trail, winding through Summit Spring Canyon and Sheep Spring Canyon. The presence of named troughs and multiple localized Springs suggests a landscape managed for livestock, where every water point is significant enough to be formally mapped and named.
