About this map

Caliente serves as the primary hub in this Lincoln County landscape, situated where the Meadow Valley Wash meets the confluence of several deep canyons. The town's layout is defined by streets such as Front St and Main St, with a significant cluster of burial grounds including the Conway Memorial Park Veterans Cem, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, and the Caliente City Cem. This concentration of cemeteries provides a unique genealogical focal point for the region.

The surrounding terrain is a complex network of drainage systems, with Newman Canyon, Rainbow Canyon, and Kershaw Canyon carving through the high country. Evidence of local industry and water management appears in features like the Taylor Mine Canyon and Conaway Reservoir, while the presence of Caliente Hot Springs to the northeast suggests the geothermal activity of the area. To the south, the settlement of Etna sits along the wash, flanked by the Clover Mountains and numerous springs like Dula Spring and Log Trough Spring.
