1985 Map of Silver Springs North

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Silver Springs stands as the primary settlement on this Lyon County survey, positioned at the edge of the Churchill Valley and the vast Lahontan State Recreation Area. The map documents a convergence of historic and modern transport, where the California Emigrant Trail (Carson River Route) crosses paths with the Southern Pacific railroad and the Lahontan Airstrip. Significant historical markers include Hawes Station (Site) and scattered Ruins in the foothills, suggesting the remnants of earlier pioneer and mining activity. The terrain is defined by the stark transition from the Virginia Range and White Sage Flat in the north to the expanding shoreline of the Lahontan Reservoir, featuring recreation hubs like Virginia Beach and Fishermans Point. Numerous mining prospects and gravel pits throughout the hills indicate the area's continued mineral interest into the late 20th century.
