2018 Map of Bristol Range NE

About this map

The Fairview Range dominates the western edge of this Lincoln County survey, giving way to the broad expanse of Lake Valley in the east. Water sources are sparse across this high-desert terrain, marked only by isolated points like Little Rosebud Spring and Wildhorse Spring, which would have been vital landmarks for early ranchers and travelers in this part of the Great Basin. Drainage patterns are defined by the Bob Hamilton Wash and Craw Cr, cutting through the basin floor. A few primitive routes, including Mount Wilson Ranch Rd, Pony Bottom Rd, and a trail marked Wild Horse, provide the only evidence of human infrastructure. This survey captures a landscape primarily defined by its hydrology and the vast, open intervals between its mountain ranges.
