2015 Map of Cow Hollow Creek

About this map

Hams Fork meanders through this portion of Lincoln County, defining a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and early irrigation engineering. The presence of Chrisman Ditch Number 1 and the Winslow Hallock and Capen Ditch illustrates the vital role of water management in this arid region. These man-made channels diverge from the natural waterways to support the local agricultural economy along the valley floor. High desert terrain is characterized by prominent geological features like Opal Bench and Chrisman Bench, providing a stark contrast to the riparian corridor. Historical transportation routes are evident in the alignment of Old US Hwy 30, which cuts across the southeastern corner of the map, and the winding path of Sevenmile Wash to the north. Local access is further defined by secondary routes such as Calhoun Rd and Cr-340.
