About this map

Caliente sits at the southern edge of this Lincoln County survey, where the Meadow Valley Wash carves through the high desert terrain. The landscape is dominated by the prominence of Chief Mtn and the broader Chief Range, which create a series of deep drainage systems including Chief Canyon and Cobalt Canyon. This topography dictates the local infrastructure, with Antelope Canyon Rd following the natural contours of its namesake canyon to the west.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, evidenced by named features such as George (Roper) Spring, Klondike Spring, and the residential area at Bennett Springs. The map clearly illustrates the transition from the high ridges of the mountains down to the wash, providing a detailed look at the rural roads and township boundaries that define the region's 21st-century spatial organization.
