About this map

Corn Creek Springs serves as the focal point of this arid landscape, situated at the base of the Sheep Range and adjacent to the National Fish and Wildlife Service Hdqrs. The area's water management is evident through a series of springs and man-made structures, including the Irrigation Ditch near Tule Springs Ranch and an Artesian Well to the south.

A Dismantled Railroad cuts across the Las Vegas Valley, marking a transition in the region's transportation infrastructure. To the west, the foothills of the Spring Mountains are defined by prominent drainage features like Kyle Canyon and Lucky Strike Canyon. The map records a time when the Desert Game Range and its various water sources, such as Mormon Wells and Grapevine Spring, supported both local wildlife management and early ranching operations.
