1969 Map of Sunnyside NW

About this map

The White River Valley landscape in Nye County defines this 1969 field-checked survey, showing a transition between the desert floor and the rising eastern foothills. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the Hot Creek Spring and the adjacent Hot Creek Campground, indicating the importance of these water sources for both local ecology and recreation. A Landing Strip and several scattered Well sites suggest the logistical and agricultural infrastructure required to maintain a presence in this arid environment. The map details the seasonal flow of Hot Creek and various unnamed Spring points that emerge near the township boundaries of T. 7 N. and T. 6 N. This document reflects the area's mid-century character, balancing sparse development with the preservation of natural springs and water rights in the Nevada desert.
