2021 Map of Chokecherry Mountain

About this map

Burnt Springs Range and the Delamar Mountains define this high-desert topography in Lincoln County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of water sources, including Nelson Spring, Oak Spring, and Mule Spring, which historically supported movement through these basins. High points such as Oak Springs Summit and Chokecherry Mtn rise above deep drainages like Hardy Canyon and Colburn Canyon. The presence of the Taylor Mine Canyon and Taylor Mine Spring suggests the region's historical connection to early 20th-century prospecting. Unusual naming conventions, such as the Balm of Gilead Canyon and Monkey Wrench Wash, hint at the diverse cultural influences and local lore of the settlers and miners who traversed this arid terrain.
