2012 Map of Delamar NW

About this map

Monkey Wrench Wash and Delamar Wash carve through this arid landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada, defining the drainage patterns of the high desert. The presence of Cyanide Reservoir and Chalk Reservoir suggests a history of water management tied to the region's land use, perhaps for livestock or earlier mining efforts. Human infrastructure is limited to specialized access, most notably the Power Line Maintenance Rd which transects the southern portion of the quadrangle. Other features like Powerline Reservoir and Cedar Wash highlight how local geography is organized around these essential watercourses and the utility corridors that cross the desert floor.
