1990 Map of Pinto Summit SW

About this map

Fish Creek Range dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, where the high desert terrain drops sharply into the expansive Fish Creek Valley. The 1990 survey captures a region defined by ranching and small-scale exploration, centered around the Fish Creek Ranch and its nearby Landing Strip. The topography is marked by several named drainage systems including Ratto Canyon, Grays Canyon, and Secret Canyon, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the lowlands of the Little Smoky Valley. Evidence of the area's mineral interest is found in scattered Prospects and a Gravel Pit near the valley floor. Settlement is sparse, represented by locations like Rye Patch and Brownie, while the map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Eureka County and White Pine County.
