1986 Map of Walti Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Walti Hot Springs and the expansive Alkali Flat anchor this mid-1980s topographic study of the borderlands between Lander and Eureka Counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the level floor of Grass Valley to the high elevations of the Simpson Park Mountains, where McClusky Peak dominates the local skyline. This era shows a working high-desert environment where ranching and resource extraction overlap. Scattered settlements like Allen Ranch and Baumann Ranch sit alongside the Gund Ranch, an academic research outpost situated near the thermal waters of the hot springs. Higher in the canyons, evidence of prospecting and industry is visible at the Keystone Mine, while a network of named water sources such as Rye Patch Spring and Mud Spring provide the lifeblood for this arid terrain.
