About this map

Little Fish Lake Valley and the surrounding high country of the Fish Creek Range dominate this late-1960s survey of central Nevada. The map reveals a landscape defined by its isolated outposts and livestock history, anchored by Little Fish Lake Ranch in the north and the cluster of Old Page Place and Old Dugan Ranch to the south. A notable concentration of springs, including the descriptively named Big Fandango and Sweet Spring, suggests the critical importance of water rights in this arid terrain.

Historical remnants of earlier industry and settlement are scattered throughout, from the Arrastra Ruins near Mountain View to the mining-era presence of Morey near Morey Peak. The inclusion of a Grave and a small Cem near Hot Creek Ranch provides specific touchpoints for genealogists. The intricate network of jeep trails and canyons like Hacksaw Canyon and Wood Tick Canyon illustrates the continued human navigation of this complex topography.
