2012 Map of Delamar

About this map

Delamar and the nearby settlement of Helene anchor this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada. The presence of two historic post offices, the Delamar Post Office and Helene Post Office, points to the area's significance as a hub for local mining and ranching interests in a region defined by seasonal watercourses. The geography is dominated by a complex network of dry washes, including Delamar Wash, Monkey Wrench Wash, and the several branches of Cedar Wash, which drain the surrounding highlands toward the valley floor. Rare reliable water sources like Blythe Spring and Bruno Spring represent critical landmarks for early inhabitants. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Lookout Mountain and Big Lime Mountain, separated by the distinctive Hogpen Shoot, while the infrastructure of the Power Line Maintenance Rd provides a modern contrast to older trails leading to Old Indian Spring.
