1966 Map of Painted Point

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Painted Point rises as a central landmark over the high desert terrain of Washoe County in the mid-1960s. This survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the Long Valley depression, where water sources are vital but scattered. The presence of numerous named springs, including Sand Spring, Lone Spring, and Twin Springs, suggests the historical importance of these points for travelers and livestock in an otherwise arid environment. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the expansive West Lake and the edge of Middle Lake, which fluctuate within the basin. Navigation through the Black Hills and across the Dip is limited to a network of jeep trails and older trails, reflecting the land's use for grazing or exploration rather than permanent settlement.
