About this map

Ash Springs serves as the focal point of this arid corridor, situated where the Pahranagat Valley meets the rising elevations of the Hiko Range. The landscape is defined by its critical water management, evidenced by the extensive network of irrigation channels including Number Four Ditch, Number Three Ditch, and New E Ditch that parallel the course of Pahranagat Cr. These features highlight the importance of water rights and agricultural engineering in Lincoln County's high desert environment.

To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex around Table Top Mtn and the uniquely named Hells Half Acre. Local springs such as Bownies Spring and Grapevine Spring provide vital points of interest for those tracing the history of desert survival and land use. The map also delineates several named ranch roads and lanes, including Nelson Ranch Rd and Bar X Bar Ranch Rd, which mark the established boundaries of rural landholdings.
