1985 Map of Silver Springs South

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Churchill Valley and the western reaches of the La Hontan Reservoir dominate this mid-1980s landscape at the boundary of Lyon and Churchill counties. The settlement of Silver Springs is depicted in a moment of grid-patterned growth, with residential streets like Tamarack Ave and Antelope St extending into the arid basin. Historically significant transit corridors traverse the southern half of the map, most notably the Pony Simpson Express Road Route and the Buckland Road, which trace the path of 19th-century mail and freight travel through the high desert. The Carson River flows toward the reservoir, flanked by infrastructure including the Lahontan Dam and a series of dikes and ditches. To the south, the terrain rises into the Desert Mountains, where scattered prospects and a mine suggest the region's enduring connection to mineral exploration.
