2012 Map of Delamar Lake

About this map

Delamar Lake dominates this arid landscape within the broader Delamar Valley, appearing here as a dry lake bed or playa characteristic of the Great Basin. This 2012 survey illustrates a desert environment where water management is critical, evidenced by a network of small reservoirs and catchment features ringing the dry lake. Notable water storage sites include Crack Reservoir to the north, Black Point Reservoir, and a series of perimeter basins such as Southside Reservoir and the Southeast Reservoirs. Drainage across the northern expanse is defined by the braided channels of Jumbo Wash, which cuts through the Delamar Flat before terminating near the lake margins. The map provides a clear look at the sparse infrastructure of this Lincoln County region, consisting primarily of unpaved tracks and 4WD trails that connect these isolated water points.
