Austin is situated at an elevation of approximately 6,600 feet above sea level in Pony Canyon near the northern end of the Toiyabe Range and near the geographic center of the state. The town lies in the watershed of the Reese River, a tributary of the Humboldt River, and it is served by US Highway 50. The 1863 store is located in an area historically known as Upper Austin, above and east of most of the presently built-up section of town. The south-facing one-story building is constructed of granite and has a wood-shingled front-gable roof and two large front entries. A wooden framework on the interior extends above the roof to form what was apparently a support for a bell. The plain interior dates largely to a ca. 1985 rehabilitation. The building is presently operated as the Gridley Store Museum by the Austin Historical Society. Exterior The Gridley Store has a simple rectangular form. The stonework, partially rebuilt and repointed in the mid-1980s, features large quoin

  • Hydrographic Basins Information
    A p p e n d i x A - B a s i n 54 Crescent Valley Page 1 of 6 Basin 54 - Crescent Valley Crescent Valley is a semi-closed basin that is bounded on the west by the Shoshone Range, on the east by the Cortez Mountains, on the south by the Toiyabe Range, and on the north by the Dry Hills. The drainage basin is about 45 miles long, 20 miles wide, and includes an area of approximately 750 square miles. Water enters the basin primarily as precipitation and is discharged primarily through evaporation and transpiration. Relatively small quantities of water enter the basin as surface flow and ground water underflow from the adjacent Carico Lake Valley at Rocky Pass, where Cooks Creek enters the southwestern end of Crescent Valley. Ground water generally flows northeasterly along the axis of the basin. The natural flow of ground water from Crescent Valley discharges into the Humboldt River between Rose Ranch and Beowawe. It is estimated that the average annual net discharge rate is approximately 700 to 750 acre-feet annually. Many of the streams which drain snowmelt of rainfall from the mountains surrounding Crescent Valley do not reach the dry lake beds on the Valley floor: instead, they branch into smaller channels that eventually run dry. Runoff from Crescent Valley does not reach Humboldt River with the exception of Coyote Creek, an intermittent stream that flows north from the Malpais to the Humboldt River and several small ephemeral streams that flow north from the Dry Hills. Surface flow in the Carico Lake Valley coalesces into Cooks Creek, which enters Crescent Valley through Rocky Pass.

  • South Reese River Valley (Updated 2014)
    Site Description South Reese River Valley (updated 2014) Geologic setting: S Reese River Valley is located in central Nevada approximately 20 kilometers to the northwest of Austin, Nevada. The Toiyabe Range lies to the east and the Shoshone range lies to the northwest. The region is made up of north trending bedrock ranges and alluvial valleys. Pre- Tertiary rocks of varying lithology characterize the area. Paleozoic marine sediments are found to be present in the east and central area with marine sediments interbedded with metavolcanic rocks. Plutonic rocks are found to crop out throughout the area but are found in small numbers. They have been dated and have been found to be pre-Cenozoic and cretaceous in age with one outcrop being dated as Jurassic (Kleinhampl and Ziony, 1985). The geologic setting is described in detail in Hinz et al. (2011). In this work, they name the prospect area the Manhattan basin, which is adjacent to the Sierra Geothermal Shoshone-Reese River geothermal prospect leases described below. Geothermal features: James Lister Well, Steiner Ranch Well: The James Lister well (Sec. 27, T24N, R43E), a non-flowing 5- m-deep well, was last measured at 38.9°C (Waring, 1919). Two kilometers south, a well at Steiner Ranch (SE¼ SE¼ Sec. 35, T24N, R43E) was also reported hot. Shoshone-Reese River Prospect: Numerous drilling projects have encountered hot water within the Shoshone-Reese River Prospect two kilometers southwest of Steiner Ranch. For instance, uranium exploration holes hit 60°C water at 107-m depth (C E½ Sec. 5 and C W½ Sec.

  • Natural History and Biogeography of the Butterflies of the Toiyabe Range, Nevada (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea)
    Vol. 4 No. 1 1997 FLEISHMAN et al.: Toiyabe Range Butterflies 1 HOLARCTIC LEPIDOPTERA, 4(1): 1-18 NATURAL HISTORY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE TOIYABE RANGE, NEVADA (LEPIDOPTERA: PAPILIONOIDEA) ERICA FLEISHMAN', GEORGE T. AUSTIN2, AND DENNIS D. MURPHY^ 'Dept. of Biology/314, University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada 89557; 2Nevada State Museum and Historical Society, 700 Twin Lakes Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89107; 3Center for Conservation Biology, Dept. of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA ABSTRACT.- The central Great Basin is a region of climatic extremes that supports a biota that rarely has been characterized. The natural history of the butterfly fauna of the centrally located Toiyabe Range, one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in that region, yields insights into both the typical species composition of interior montane landscapes and the susceptibility of such biotas to anthropogenic disturbance and climate change. Over the past 60 years, 72 resident and 27 nonresident butterfly species have been recorded from the Toiyabe Range. Species richness, local distribution, and life history characteristics of Toiyabe Range butterflies are discussed in the context of historic and modern biogeography, climate, and habitat variability. Species presence records for 30 canyons within the Toiyabe Range are summarized. Photographs of butterflies characteristic of the central Great Basin are presented. KEY WORDS: Great Basin, Hesperioidea, montane butterflies, Nearctic, North America, Papilionoidea, Rhopalocera, riparian, species richness. From compilations of species lists (Austin, 1985a) and analyses of patterns of differentiation and introgression (Austin and Murphy, 1987), to studies of island biogeography (Wilcox et al., 1986; Murphy and Wilcox, 1986; Murphy and Weiss, 1992) and focused studies of habitats and geographical areas (Austin and Austin, 1980; Austin, 1985b), the biology and distribution of Great Basin butterflies have been well documented during the past decade.

  • Humboldt River Chronology Part II – Pre-Twentieth Century
    Humboldt River Chronology Part II – Pre-Twentieth Century 2,000,000 Years Ago to 10,000 Years Ago (Pleistocene Epoch) The prehistory of the Humboldt River Basin is marked by profound changes in climate and hydrology. Ancient lake shorelines have provided invaluable information into the scope of these changes. For example, shoreline altitudes of a number of pluvial lakes (e.g., ancient Lake Lahontan) in the northern and western Great Basin1 have indicated successively smaller lakes from the Early to the Late Pleistocene Epoch.2 This decrease in lake size suggests a long-term drying tend in the region’s climate over the last two million years. Calculations based on differences in lake areas suggest that the highest levels of these pluvial lakes would have required a regional effective moisture of up to three times greater than the effective moisture level estimated to have existed in the Late Pleistocene. These previously unknown peak lake elevations (highstands) reflect significant changes in climate, tectonics and/or drainage basin configurations that could have facilitated the migration of aquatic species throughout the Great Basin.3 Lake Lahontan’s Early Pleistocene surface level (4,590 feet MSL) was more recently estimated to have been over 200 feet above its Late Pleistocene shoreline (4,380 feet MSL), a surface elevation widely recognized as this lake’s highstand. At this higher elevation, the Early Pleistocene Lake Lahontan would have extended its reach further up the Humboldt River from the Late Pleistocene highstand, which had been estimated to have reached just above Red House (about five miles above Comus).
