About this map

Wood Ranch and the simple encampment at Crow Corral anchor this corner of Lincoln County, defined by a critical network of livestock water infrastructure and seasonal drainages. The landscape is marked by numerous engineered catchments such as Mathews Canyon Reservoir, Rolling Hills Reservoir, and Marble Reservoir, which support life in this arid environment. These water sources are vital in a terrain where Mud Springs Wash and East Pine Wash carve deep paths through the high country.

Rising above the flats, Bunker Peak serves as a primary landmark, standing over Bunker Flat and the strategic Bunker Pass. The intricate drainage systems, including West Bunker Peak Wash and Mud Springs Wash, illustrate the natural flow of the land toward lower basins. For those tracing the history of land use, the map details how natural springs like Quaking Aspen Spring and Bunker Spring provided the foundation for cattle ranching and early transit across the High Desert.
