1990 Map of Reynard

About this map

The Smoke Creek Desert dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, transitioning into the steep, deeply incised drainages of the Fox Range to the east. This 1990 provisional survey records a sparse high-desert environment where water sources like Hog Spring and the Salt Marsh were vital for survival. The settlement pattern is minimal, represented by the rail siding at Reynard and the historic Smoke Creek (Site), suggesting a terrain defined more by transit and resource extraction than permanent residency. Evidence of human activity is found in the scattered Prospects and a modern Radio Facility near the northern boundary. The southern edge of the map includes a portion of the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, while the rugged eastern terrain is marked by topographic features like Wild Horse Canyon, Pole Canyon, and Rough Canyon.
