About this map

Warm Springs serves as the focal point of this Nevada survey, situated where the high desert terrain of Hot Creek Valley meets Reveille Valley. The landscape is defined by its water infrastructure, including a prominent Aqueduct, a Hot Spring, and a Water Tank that supported the small settlement and its associated Trailer Park.

Evidence of resource extraction is visible through a Gravel Pit and a Prospect, reflecting the era's mining activity in Nye County. This map was produced by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, adding a layer of Cold War history to the documentation of this remote high-altitude location. Away from the main settlement, isolated landmarks like Joes Well provide specific points of interest for those studying the distribution of water and human presence in the Great Basin during the late 1960s.
