The statewide reconnaissance soil survey is designed to furnish basic soil data needed to evaluate a variety of potential uses. Soil Hydrologic Groups, Soil Materials Sources, Soil Erosion Potential and Soil Irrigability Classes are among the several interpretive evaluations made in Railroad Valley as a result of the survey. The soils of the Railroad Valley area were identified~ mapped, and named according to the U. S. Comprehensive System of Soil Classi­ fication. In addition to being used in the development of the State Water Plan, the progressive reconnaissance soil sur­ vey will also contribute to an eventual soil map of Nevada which will be a basic resource data source for state, re­ gional and local land evaluation and development planning.

Eugene Rush and Duane E. Everett SUMMARY Y Little Fish Lake, Hot Creek (including the northern part of Reveille), and Little Smoky (including Fish C're ek) Valleys are in central Nevada. The climate is semiarid. Most of the precipitation that contributes to streamflow and to ground-water recharge falls on the .mountai n s in the winter as snow and subsequently melts in the spring. Surface-water runoff is larger on the western m ouritains bordering Little Fish Lake, Hot Creek, a nd northern Little Smoky Valleys, but in the southern part of Little Smoky Valley the east side generates more. The younger and older alluvium constitutes the principal ground­ water reservoir. Both volcanic and carbonate rocks in the rn ount a i.n s give rise to rnaj o r springs.
