About this map

Delamar Mountains and the Burnt Springs Range converge in this high-desert corner of Lincoln County, defining a landscape of arid basins and complex drainages. This recent survey emphasizes the critical role of water sources in the Great Basin, pinpointing isolated features like Porphyry Spring, Rabbit Spring, and Cliff Springs. These water points have historically served as vital stops for ranching and transit through the high country between Dry Lake Valley and the canyons to the east.

Terrain variations are marked by the prominent Grey Dome and the winding course of Antelope Canyon. The map provides a precise view of the modern Public Land Survey System, showing the township and range divisions such as t3s r65e that organize this remote territory. For those tracing land use or topographic changes, the detailed contouring around Porphyry Wash illustrates the seasonal drainage patterns typical of the region.
