2021 Map of Elgin SW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Delamar Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain, characterized by a complex network of canyons and vital water sources that sustained early activity in Lincoln County. The map reveals a land defined by its hydrology, with numerous localized water points such as Sawmill Spring, Upper Riggs Spring, and Lower Riggs Spring providing essential resources in an otherwise arid landscape. To the south, the deep drainage of Kane Springs Wash serves as a topographical focal point, while Boulder Canyon and Narrow Canyon cut through the high elevations. This area's geography was historically critical for livestock ranching and mining exploration, as evidenced by the distribution of family-named landmarks like Cabin Spring and Jump-Up Spring that mark the rugged contours of the eastern Nevada basin and range province.
