2018 Map of Eccles

About this map

Clover Creek meanders through the high desert landscape of Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns that shaped the settlement of Eccles and the eastern outskirts of Caliente. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by steep relief and critical water sources, where the Clover Mountains rise to the south and numerous named canyons, such as English Canyon and Barnes Canyon, carve into the plateau. The placement of vital water points like Oak Spring, Willow Spring, and Upper Ash Spring illustrates the importance of reliable hydrology for transit and survival in this arid terrain. Access through this canyon-cut geography is maintained by routes such as Clover Canyon Rd and Clover Creek Rd, following the natural contours of the land between prominent landmarks like the Tepee Rocks and Dutch Flat.
