About this map

The high desert terrain of the Fish Creek Mountains dominates this central Nevada landscape, where the peaks drop sharply into the Buffalo Valley to the west and the Reese River Valley to the east. This 1990 provisional survey documents a remote mining and ranching landscape defined by its water sources and resource exploration. Dozens of sites marked Prospect cluster along the mountain slopes, indicating significant mineral interest and activity in the late 20th century. Named water points such as Pickett Well and Natomas Well serve as vital landmarks in this arid basin-and-range environment. The presence of a Microwave Station on a high ridge near the center of the mountains highlights the modern telecommunications infrastructure required to span these wide Nevada valleys.
