About this map

South Pahroc Range and the Hiko Range dominate this desert landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada, as it appeared in the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the high, wooded elevations of the South Pahroc Range and the lower, fractured ridges of the Hiko Range, with Eightmile Valley serving as the central drainage between these mountainous blocks. Water sources are scarce and localized, represented by isolated points like Sixmile Spring, Eightmile Spring, and Twin Springs.

Evidence of human activity is limited to a sparse network of water infrastructure and access routes, including a Jeep Trail crossing Six Mile Flat. The presence of several Water Tanks suggests the land was primarily utilized for livestock grazing or transient desert navigation. The map also records distinctive geological features such as Hells Acres Gulch, which cuts through the foothills of the Hiko Range.
