1980 Map of Wall Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Buffalo Hills rise sharply above the western edge of the Smoke Creek Desert in this 1980 survey, illustrating the stark topographical transitions of northwestern Nevada. This arid landscape is defined by its vital water sources and early ranching infrastructure, such as the Corra Parker Ranch and several notable springs including Wall Spring and Indian Rock Spring. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the flat expanse of the desert floor, where Squaw Creek drains toward the basin. Industrial and transport markers are sparsely distributed but significant, featuring the Western Pacific transit line cutting across the southeastern corner and various Borrow Pits and a Drill Hole indicating local resource exploration. Distinctive landforms like Indian Rock and Five Springs Canyon provide essential landmarks for navigating this remote region.
