2018 Map of Deadman Spring

About this map

White River flows southward through this arid Lincoln County landscape, defining the western basin before the terrain rises into the steep elevations of the Pahroc Range. The survey captures a region where survival is dictated by isolated water sources, from the namesake Deadman Spring to higher-elevation points like Cabin Spring and Hamilton Spring. These locations often mark the historical stopping points for travelers and livestock in the Great Basin. To the east, the Dry Lake Valley provides a stark contrast to the craggy outcrops of the North Pahroc Range, which dominates the southern half of the quadrangle. The presence of Coal Spring and Black Rock Spring suggests the critical, sparse distribution of resources that once supported ranching and transit through this high-desert corridor.
