1967 Map of Plush

About this map

Plush sits at the edge of the Warner Valley in Lake County, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and wildlife management landscape during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a transitional zone where high desert drainage systems like Honey Creek and Miners Draw descend toward the Warner Lakes basin. Significant infrastructure for this arid environment is documented through numerous Wells, Gravel Pits, and a remote Landing Strip located north of the settlement. The eastern edge of the survey identifies the Hart Mtn National Antelope Refuge Bdy, highlighting the intersection of human habitation and protected high-desert habitat. Hydrological monitoring is evident at the Gaging Station along the creek, while the presence of a Jeep Trail and Jeep Tr network suggests the seasonal movement and land use patterns of the era.
