1989 Map of Spencer Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Spencer Hot Springs sits at the geological intersection where the floor of Big Smoky Valley meets the rising slopes of the Toquima Range. This 1980s-era topographical study reveals a landscape shaped by geothermal activity and hard-rock extraction within the Toiyabe National Forest. The presence of several Flowing Wells (Hot) near the springs highlights the thermal hydrology of the region, while a cluster of mining features to the northeast suggests a period of intense subterranean prospecting. Significant sites including the Linka Mine, Conquest Mine, and a settlement area labeled Spencer are visible alongside numerous unmarked Prospects. The map details a remote infrastructure of unimproved roads and trails leading through Petes Canyon and past remote water sources like Petes Well, providing a record of the high-desert mining and ranching frontier at the end of the twentieth century.
