1966 Map of Painted Point

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Painted Point rises as a central landmark in this high-desert region of Washoe County, surveyed in the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the significant Long Valley (Depression), where topography sinks into a vast catchment basin. This arid environment is punctuated by vital water sources such as Sand Spring, Lone Spring, and the clustered Twin Springs, which likely served as crucial landmarks for range travel and wildlife. To the north, the terrain transitions into the seasonal basins of West Lake and Middle Lake. The network of Jeep Trails winding through the Black Hills and toward The Dip illustrates a remote territory where movement was dictated by the harsh contours of the land and the location of reliable springs.
