About this map

Markleeville sits as the central hub of this Alpine County landscape, positioned along the banks of the East Fork Carson River. The town is framed by an extensive network of creeks and canyons, including Musser and Jarvis Creek and Pleasant Valley Creek, which drain the high elevations of the Toiyabe National Forest. This late-1970s survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrogeology and outdoor recreation, featuring numerous springs such as Grover Hot Springs and Soda Spring.

Public lands and recreational infrastructure are prominent, with Grover Hot Springs State Park and Turtle Rock County Park providing established points for visitors. Notable landmarks include the Hangmans Bridge spanning the river and the Indian Creek Reservoir to the north. Surveyors also noted industrial and utility features like a Prospect near Poor Boy Creek and the Radio Facility atop Hawkins Peak.
