2014 Map of Delamar NW

About this map

The Pahroc Range and South Pahroc Range dominate the western horizon of this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County. To the east, the terrain levels out into the expansive Delamar Flat and Delamar Valley, where a network of remote ranching and industrial roads such as Mackie Reservoir Rd and Cyanide Rd crisscross the basin. The names of the water features—Cyanide Reservoir, Chalk Reservoir, and Monkey Wrench Wash—hint at the complex history of resource extraction and water management in this arid environment. This 2014 survey documents a modern snapshot of the basin's hydrology, including the Powerline Reservoir and Coyote Reservoir, which serve as vital collection points in an area defined by seasonal drainages like Delamar Wash and Cedar Wash.
