About this map

Dry Lake Valley defines the arid landscape of this Lincoln County quadrangle, where water management is the primary marker of human presence. The distribution of features like Hirshi Reservoir Number Two, Bristol Reservoir Number Two, and Black Canyon Reservoir suggests a reliance on catchment and seasonal runoff in a region dominated by drainage patterns. These ephemeral water systems are further evidenced by the long paths of Coyote Wash and Wheatgrass Wash, which cut through the open basin. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of desert tracks, most notably Rattlesnake Rd and Rattlesnake Spring Rd, which provide access to the remote interior. At the edges of the valley, landmarks like Sand Spring offer points of interest for those tracing the historical geography of Nevada's high desert basins.
