2018 Map of Bristol Range SE

About this map

The Bristol Range dominates the western half of this Lincoln County landscape, rising to its highest elevation at Roe Peak. This 2018 survey illustrates the sharp transition between the steep, corrugated terrain of the range and the high desert flats of Lake Valley to the east. Along this geological boundary, the drainage patterns are clearly defined by the deep incisions of Burnt Canyon and Broad Canyon, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the basin floor. Human modification of this arid environment is evident in the presence of the Rockhouse Reservoir, situated near Page Cr in the northeast. Farther south, the isolated prominence of Blind Mtn stands apart from the main range, overlooking the expansive valley. The map provides a detailed view of these natural landmarks and the primitive road networks that navigate the desert floor and mountain foothills.
