2021 Map of Coyote Spring

About this map

Coyote Spring and its surrounding desert topography define this portion of Lincoln County, where water sources dictated the movement of both people and livestock. The expansive corridor of Coyote Wash dominates the central landscape, acting as a natural drainage artery that flows toward the south. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of isolated water points in the Great Basin, highlighting features like Stonewall Spring and the Upper Reservoir that anchor the otherwise arid terrain. To the southeast, the geography transitions into the broad expanse of Dry Lake Valley, a characteristic desert sink. The map provides a detailed view of the ephemeral water systems of the region, including Silverhorn Wash and Fairview Wash, showing how these intermittent flows have shaped the basin floor over time.
