1970 Map of Caliente NW

About this map

The Burnt Springs Range and Delamar Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County. In a region where water sources dictated movement and survival, this survey records several critical points including Rabbit Spring, Cliff Springs, and Dana Spring. An aqueduct traces a path through the western foothills, while a network of Jeep Trails provides access to remote mineral interests indicated by several Prospect and prospects sites. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Sugarloaf down into Antelope Canyon and the eastern edge of the Dry Lake (Depression) Valley. These features reveal a landscape shaped by both natural drainage patterns like Porphyry Wash and human infrastructure like the Crows Nest Tank, reflecting the mid-century intersection of ranching and exploration in Nevada's Great Basin.
