About this map

Meadow Valley Wash carves a deep central corridor through this section of Lincoln County, dictating the placement of the transportation route and the small settlements of Stine and Boyd. To the east, the Clover Mountains dominate the high ground, dissected by a network of drainage systems including Sawmill Canyon and Whiskey Spring Canyon. The southern end of the quadrangle opens into Ash Flat and the entrance to Rainbow Canyon, reflecting a landscape where geological features and canyon passages have long defined the movement of people and resources. Smaller tributaries like Willow Cr and named depressions such as Kaolin Canyon provide specific points of reference for those studying the physical history of this desert environment. This map highlights how modern infrastructure continues to follow the natural lines of the valley floors.
