2015 Map of Crescent Reservoir

About this map

Pahranagat Range dominates the eastern elevation of this Lincoln County quadrangle, where high desert peaks descend into a complex of drainages and ranch roads. The landscape is defined by the critical water resource of Crescent Reservoir in the southwest, a focal point for local land use. This 2015 survey illustrates a remote network of tracks and bypasses that serve the area's ranching and transit needs, including the aptly named Mail Box Rd and Medlin Ranch Rd. The presence of Groom Lake Rd and Tickaboo Springs S Rd suggests the historical and continued importance of spring-fed routes through this arid terrain. Topographical details provide a clear view of the alluvial fans and ridgelines that dictate the layout of these desert thoroughfares, such as Sawdust and Steve's Rd.
