About this map

Mixie Flat serves as the central focal point of this arid high-desert landscape situated along the border of Nevada and California. This region is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and essential water sources, including the strategically located Byers Spring and Horse Corral Spring. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably around Twin Peaks and the deep incisions of Chimney Rock Canyon and Wilcox Canyon.

Logistical movement through the area is largely dictated by the Mixie Flat Rd, which provides the primary access route across the township and range lines. The concentration of named springs, such as Sage Hen Spring and Bernice Spring, underscores the critical importance of these isolated water points for both historical travel and ranching operations in Washoe County. The map provides a precise layout of the California-Nevada state line as it intersects with Lassen County and Washoe County.
