2011 Map of Spring City

About this map

Spring City (historical) anchors this high-desert Nevada landscape, marking the site of a settlement that once thrived along Spring City Creek. The map documents a classic ranching and mining terrain in Humboldt County, where water sources like Wagon Wheel Spring and Secret Spring were vital for survival and industry. The presence of Old Mill Ranch and Ansotegui Ranch reflects the enduring agricultural legacy of the region, situated near the broad expanse of Paradise Valley. Rugged topographical features with evocative names like Gouge Eye and Deadman Gulch illustrate the character of the terrain, while routes like China Rd and the steep China Grade point to the historical movements of people through Spring City Canyon toward the summits of Coal Pit Peak and Buttermilk Summit.
