2021 Map of Caliente NW

About this map

The Burnt Springs Range and the Delamar Mountains converge in this high-desert region of Lincoln County, showcasing a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and dramatic topographic relief. The terrain is marked by significant landmarks such as Grey Dome and the drainage of Antelope Canyon, which together illustrate the complex geology of the Great Basin. This 2021 survey provides a contemporary record of the area's hydrology, noting essential desert water points including Porphyry Spring, Rabbit Spring, Cliff Springs, and Dana Spring. These isolated springs and the winding Porphyry Wash have historically dictated movement and land use through the arid Dry Lake Valley, serving as critical waypoints for those navigating the rugged expanses between the mountain ranges.
