2012 Map of Deadman Spring

About this map

White River flows through this arid corridor of Lincoln County, defining the primary drainage for a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources. This 2012 survey illustrates the vital importance of natural springs in the Great Basin environment, where isolated water points often served as critical landmarks for early travelers and livestock operations. Named features like Deadman Spring and Black Rock Spring are found along the desert floor, while Hamilton Spring and Coal Spring sit to the east. These specific water sources provided the necessary infrastructure for the region's ranching and transit history, long before the modernization of the road network that now traverses the valley.
