1968 Map of Warm Springs NW

About this map

Hot Creek Range and Kawich Range dominate this Nevada landscape, revealing a remote high-desert terrain shaped by mining and water resources. The topography is marked by several significant operations, most notably the Clifford Mine in the southern sector, alongside various unnamed mines and prospects scattered across the ridgelines. These mineral explorations are connected by a network of jeep trails that navigate the high elevations. Essential water sources like Milk Spring, Black Spring, and an Aqueduct underscore the vital infrastructure required for survival and industry in this arid environment. The map, produced in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, provides a detailed view of the Cabin Valley floor and the surrounding peaks as they were surveyed in the late 1960s.
