1990 Map of Ninemile Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Basque Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, serving as a critical water source for the surrounding arid basins. The distribution of perennial water is meticulously documented through a network of springs, including Agate Spring, Basque Spring, and Dacite Spring, which supported the livestock operations of the late twentieth century. In the eastern reaches, the terrain descends into the Kings River Valley, where the Nine Mile Ranch stands as a primary marker of human activity and settlement in this isolated region. The presence of features like Table Mountain and Ninemile Summit illustrates the dramatic vertical relief of the Great Basin. This provisional survey provides a precise record of the land use patterns and vital water locations like Mud Spring and Ninemile Springs before the turn of the millennium.
