1956 Map of Walti Hot Springs

About this map

Walti Ranch and Allen Ranch anchor this mid-century survey of the high desert along the border of Lander and Eureka counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the broad expanse of Grass Valley and the steep elevations of the Simpson Park Mountains. The presence of Hot Springs and Little Hot Springs indicates the geothermal activity that names this quadrangle, while numerous isolated water sources like Rye Patch Spring and Crystal Spring dictate the patterns of ranching and movement through the basin.
