2014 Map of Bennett Pass

About this map

Bennett Springs and the seasonal Bennett Springs Wash anchor the southeastern portion of this Lincoln County landscape, situated between several distinct mountain formations. The terrain is defined by the convergence of the Black Canyon Range and the Chief Range, with Klondike Gap providing a low-lying passage to the south. This area is characterized by a network of historic access routes that speak to the region's mining and ranching heritage, including Comet Rd, Ely Spring Rd, and Klondike Rd. From the north, Black Canyon and Dead Deer Canyon cut through the high ground, while Oak Flat provides a rare level expanse amidst the ridgelines. The transition through Bennett Pass serves as a central point for the local road system, connecting the various canyons and washes of this high desert environment.
