2012 Map of Blue Nose Peak

About this map

Blue Nose Peak overlooks a landscape defined by seasonal water management and desert expanse in this early 21st-century survey of Lincoln County. The environment is marked by numerous ephemeral drainages, including the expansive Garden Wash and Sams Camp Wash, which flow toward the Tule Desert. Human presence in this arid region is tied to small-scale water infrastructure and temporary camps, evidenced by the Dodge Pocket Reservoir and White Rock Reservoir. These water sources, along with features like the End of the Line Trough and the depression known as Dodge Pockets, indicate the area's importance for cattle ranching or land management in the High Desert. The isolated location of Wests Camp further emphasizes the remote, utilitarian nature of the settlements scattered across this portion of Nevada.
