1964 Map of Spanish Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Virginia Mountains dominate this 1960s landscape, where complex ridges and drainages reveal a reliance on scarce water sources in the high desert of Washoe County. This survey shows a network of remote water points essential for livestock or travelers, including Salt Cabin Spring, Lower Scott Springs, and Upper Scott Spring. The topography transitions from the high peaks down toward Honey Lake Valley in the northwest, while the southeastern portion is defined by the seasonal flow of Dry Spanish Flat Creek and the Spanish Flat Reservoir. A series of naming conventions, such as Telephone Pole Canyon and Scott Pass, suggests a history of early utility lines and established high-altitude crossings. The map is crossed by numerous Jeep Trails, indicating a landscape accessed by miners or ranchers in the mid-20th century.
