About this map

Water sources define the sparse landscape of this Lincoln County region, where scattered desert springs provided vital waypoints for travel and ranching. Crescent Spring and Rye Grass Spring sit at the center of a network of seasonal drainages, while Logan Spring feeds into the upper reaches of Logan Creek in the northeastern corner of the map. The distribution of these features suggests a historical reliance on these specific points of relief within the arid basin.

Infrastructure is limited to a few primitive routes, such as Logan Canyon Rd and Cold Spring Rd, which cut through the drainage patterns of the valley floor. To the west, Tule Spring appears as a lone landmark in an otherwise open expanse, and Reed Spring marks a significant bend in the southern hydrological system. The topographical detail reveals the subtle contours of the terrain as it shifts between these isolated water points.
