About this map

Bear River dominates the western reaches of this Lincoln County landscape, meandering through a valley defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. The small settlement of Beckwith is positioned near the river, situated between McFarland Ditch and the primary flow of the Bear River. This 2015 survey illustrates how the high desert terrain is managed for water, featuring prominent engineered waterways like the Pixley Ditch, Mau Ditch, and the long Covey Canal that skirts the base of the eastern uplands.

The topography rises sharply to the east and south, where Stoffer Ridge and Boulder Ridge frame the horizon. Significant tributaries such as Antelope Cr and Leeds Cr descend from these heights toward the valley floor. To the north, the Holland Reservoir provides a critical point of water storage, while The Big Knob serves as a distinct geological landmark in the southwestern corner of the quadrangle.
