1971 Map of Bristol Well

About this map

Bristol Well serves as a historical waypoint in this high-desert landscape of Lincoln County, where the infrastructure of early mining and ranching remains visible. The presence of Charcoal Kilns near the well points to the area's industrial past, likely supporting nearby smelting operations during the late 19th-century silver booms. The terrain is defined by the massive Bristol Range to the east and the West Range to the west, separated by a series of drainage systems including Fairview Wash and Scotty Wash.
