1969 Map of Elgin SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Delamar Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where water sources dictated the patterns of human movement and settlement during the late 1960s. Vital springs are scattered throughout the drainages, including Sawmill Spring, Narrow Spring, and the paired Upper Riggs Spring and Lower Riggs Spring. These water points support cattle ranching infrastructure such as the Corral and a Water Tank, which were essential for the open-range economy of the era.
