1985 Map of The Geysers

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Geysers and the thermal activity of the Whirlwind Valley define this mid-1980s survey along the border of Lander and Eureka counties. The landscape is marked by geothermal and mineral exploration, featuring numerous prospects and the Sansinena Mine positioned near the base of the Malpais Range. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Whirlwind Valley, where an Alkali Flat and Coyote Creek suggest the arid, seasonal drainage patterns of the Great Basin. Industrial infrastructure, including a Radio Facility, a pipeline, and a single wooden pole trans line, indicates the region's role in utility transmission. The steep elevations of the Shoshone Range dominate the western portion of the map, while Cold Springs and the open expanse of Crescent Valley appear in the southeast, providing a clear record of the intersection between Nevada's high-desert topography and late-20th-century resource development.
