1980 Map of Mixie Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Mixie Flat and the surrounding high desert terrain along the border of California and Nevada are captured here as they appeared in the late 1970s. This arid landscape is defined by its vital water sources, with numerous named springs such as Byers Spring, Indian Spring, and Lone Mountain Spring providing essential points of interest for livestock and local travel. The settlement of Horse Corral stands near Horse Corral Spring, serving as a central landmark in a region where canyons like Wilcox Canyon and Chimney Canyon shape the topography. In the southern reaches of the quadrangle, Smoke Creek Reservoir sits near the headwaters of Smoke Creek, while the prominent Twin Peaks rise above the drainage of Burro Creek. This survey provides a precise record of the trails and water-management features that sustained ranching and transit through these remote basins before modern developments altered the water table.
