The high desert terrain of the Buffalo Hills defines this portion of Washoe County, where water is the primary architect of the human and natural landscape. Dozens of isolated water sources, such as White Heifer Springs, Jenkins Spring, and Pauls Camp Spring, indicate a reliance on scattered springs and managed reservoirs for ranching and survival in this arid environment. The naming conventions throughout the quadrangle, including Pauls Camp Canyon and Jones Flat, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and early settlement camps.
