1988 Map of West of Austin

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Reese River Valley floor dominates this 1980s landscape, illustrating a wide, arid basin punctuated by essential water sources such as the Flowing Well and various Springs. Civil infrastructure is centered on the Austin Airport, situated at the convergence of several valley routes. This era of land management is represented by the eastern boundary of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the terrain begins its steep ascent into the mountains. This transition is marked by several drainage features including Dry Canyon, Porter Canyon, and Big Creek. The map provides a detailed look at the rural survey grid during a period of steady land use, highlighting the reliance on natural and drilled water points for ranching or local industry in this high-desert environment.
