About this map

Camp Valley sits at a critical junction of drainage systems in Lincoln County, where Camp Valley Creek flows south to join the broader expanse of Meadow Valley. This arid landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal watercourses, most notably the Meadow Valley Wash and the East Fork Spring Valley Wash. These washes represent the primary hydrological features of the high desert, carving through the terrain and dictating the placement of early routes.

At the heart of the map, Buck Wash Well stands as a vital landmark of historical water management, illustrating the necessity of man-made infrastructure in this dry basin. The terrain is further etched by numerous named tributaries, including White Rock Wash, Wildcat Wash, and Buster Wash, which all feed into the central drainage corridor. The presence of Route 322 provides the primary modern access through the valley, tracing a path alongside these ancient water channels.
