1985 Map of Crescent Spring

About this map

The Mount Irish Range dominates this mid-1980s topographic landscape, rising sharply above the eastern edge of the Tikaboo Valley. This high-desert terrain is defined by its scarce but critical water sources, such as Crescent Spring and Reed Spring, which serve as vital landmarks in an otherwise arid expanse of Lincoln County. The mapping reveals a complex network of unimproved roads and trails that navigate the steep contours and drainages, including the course of Logan Creek. Produced as a provisional map from original manuscript drawings and 1983 aerial photography, this record documents the primitive transportation routes and natural features of the Nevada desert before modern digital revisions.
