2015 Map of Paiute Meadows

About this map

Lassens Grave May 59 marks a specific historical point of interest along Leonard Creek Rd, providing a tangible link to the mid-19th-century history of this Nevada landscape. Situated within the Black Rock Range, the area is defined by its network of water sources, including Johnstone Springs, Cane Springs, and Onemile Spring. These springs, alongside the ephemeral flows of Paiute Cr and Butte Cr, likely served as vital landmarks for early travel and ranching operations like the Sheep Creek Rnch. The presence of the Paiute Meadows Airport near the center of the meadows highlights the continued utility of this flat terrain in the modern era. To the south, Elephant Mtn rises as a prominent landmark, anchoring the southern portion of the quadrangle where Sheep Cr and Cherry Springs drain from the higher elevations of the range.
