2018 Map of Alamo NE

About this map

Sixmile Spring and Eightmile Spring serve as critical water points in this arid expanse of Lincoln County, where the desert floor meets the rising peaks of the Great Basin. The landscape is defined by its dramatic vertical shifts, from the wide openness of Sixmile Flat and Eightmile Valley to the steep elevations of the Hiko Range and the South Pahroc Range. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain shaped by isolation and extreme topography, where water sources are few and far between. These namesake springs, including the remote Twin Springs and Rye Patch Spring, represent the essential landmarks for navigation and land use in a region dominated by vast public land divisions. The deep incision of Hells Acres Gulch further illustrates the erosive forces at work in this high-desert environment.
