1987 Map of Warm Springs

About this map

Warm Springs serves as a central junction in this high-desert landscape of central Nevada, where the roads of Nye County converge amidst a series of north-south mountain ranges. This 1987 survey details a region defined by its mining legacy and geological curiosities, notably the volcanic features of the Pancake Range including the Lunar Crater, Lunar Cuesta, and The Wall. The map documents the scattered remnants of the area's mineral industry, from Kellys Mine in the Monitor Range to the Old Dominion and Empire workings further east. The vast basins of Stone Cabin Valley and Ralston Valley separate these highlands, while the Reveille Range features distinctive landmarks like the Goblin Knobs. Researchers will find a mix of high-altitude forest within the Toiyabe National Forest and arid lowlands such as Chuck Wagon Flat and Twin Springs Slough.
