2021 Map of Carp

About this map

Carp is the primary settlement on this map of southeastern Nevada, situated where the high desert terrain meets the Meadow Valley Wash. The landscape is dominated by the massive rise of the Mormon Mountains to the south and east, creating a corridor for drainage and travel through the Mormon Canyon and into Long Valley. This area represents a critical transit point in the desert, where CO Rte 4230 parallels the seasonal watercourse. The map details a complex network of township and range lines, including t9s r67e and t11s r68e, which define the ranching and public land boundaries in this arid portion of Lincoln County. The proximity of the wash to the settlement at Carp suggests the historic importance of reliable water sources in the development of the region's scattered outposts.
