About this map

The Clover Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainages including E Pine Wash and W Bunker Peak Wash, punctuated by vital water sources like Mathews Spring and Mud Springs. The reliance on seasonal catchment is evident through several small impoundments scattered across the range, notably Rolling Hills Reservoir and Jacks Canyon Reservoir.

Named peaks and passes provide a clear sense of the area's geography, from the heights of Bunker Peak and Pine Ridge to the traversable Jacks Pass and Bunker Pass. Unusual place names such as Purgatory Hole Canyon and Bally Knolls speak to the local character of the land. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and relief of the eastern Nevada wilderness in the early 21st century.
