2021 Map of Coal Valley Reservoir

About this map

Coal Valley Reservoir and the adjacent Sheep Reservoir Number 2 sit at the center of this Lincoln County basin, serving as critical water infrastructure in a high-desert environment. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Golden Gate Range in the northwest, which transitions into broad, open flats segmented by historical township and range lines. Transportation through this remote stretch of Nevada relies on established routes such as Seaman Wash Rd and Mail Summit Rd, which trace the natural contours of the valley. The map documents the persistent human effort to manage water in the arid Coal-Valley region, providing a clear record of land management and surveying across multiple townships including T2N R59E and T1N R60E.
