1985 Map of Olinghouse

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The high desert landscape of the Pah Rah Range dominates this 1980s study of Washoe County. The small settlement of Olinghouse serves as the focal point for local history, closely associated with the nearby Olinghouse Mine and the rugged drainage of Olinghouse Canyon. This area reflects a classic Nevada pattern of isolated ranching and mining outposts tucked into the folds of the mountains, as evidenced by Home Ranch situated near Quaking Aspen Spring and Twin Springs. The topography is defined by numerous deep cuts, including Wilcox Canyon and Pierson Canyon, while the northeastern corner reaches into the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. Genealogists and historians will find interest in the scattered water sources essential for survival in this environment, from Sheehan Spring to the intermittent Cottonwood Creek, alongside landmarks like Pond Peak and White Hill.
