2018 Map of Delamar Lake

About this map

Delamar Flat dominates the central landscape of this Lincoln County basin, a dry lakebed that serves as a focal point for water management in an arid environment. The map details a series of artificial catchments and water features, including the Delamar Flat Reservoir, Black Point Reservoir, and groups of smaller tanks known as the Southside Reservoirs and Southeast Reservoirs. These features underscore the importance of water storage for ranching or land management within the broader Delamar Valley. To the west, the foothills of the Pahroc Range begin to rise, while the southern edge of the sheet is defined by the encroaching topography of the Delamar Mountains. Drainage across the valley floor is traced by seasonal paths such as Jumbo Wash, which cuts through the northeastern reaches of the flat.
