About this map

The East Mormon Mountains define this high-desert region of Lincoln County, stretching across a landscape marked by steep ridgelines and ephemeral drainage systems like the South Fork Toquop Wash. While the terrain is dominated by peaks like Davidson Peak, human activity is etched into the mountain flanks through a network of Jeep Trails and utility lines marked as Telephone.

Evidence of historical habitation and resource extraction appears at The Summit and near various Ruins, pointing to a history of high-altitude settlement or shelter. Resource exploration is grounded in specific sites such as a Prospect, a Gravel Pit, and a Cave, while local hydrology centers on vital water sources like Gourd Spring and Peach Spring. Notable markers of modern and historical presence include Radio Towers and a site simply designated as Graves, providing critical data points for genealogists and local historians.
