2012 Map of Bailey Wash

About this map

Muleshoe Valley defines this portion of Lincoln County, where the desert floor is carved by a network of drainage systems. The landscape is primarily shaped by the convergence of several major arroyos, including Bailey Wash, which enters from the east, and Coyote Wash, which runs north-to-south through the center of the valley. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, Maloy Wash cuts across the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrologic patterns of this arid basin. This 2012 survey documents the contemporary road network and drainage alignments in an area defined by its open spaces and intermittent watercourses, providing a clear record of the geographic features that have dictated movement and land use in this part of Nevada for generations.
