About this map

Ella Mountain dominates the landscape of the Clover Mountains in this 1970s topographic survey of Lincoln County. The map documents a rugged high-altitude environment defined by deep drainage systems like Pennsylvania Canyon and Ash Canyon. Evidence of early mining activity is recorded through a Mine and Prospect located near Carson Spring, suggesting a history of mineral exploration in these remote slopes.

Water sources are vital landmarks here, with Ella Spring and several unnamed Spring points providing relief in the arid terrain. The map also traces a network of primitive transportation, specifically a Jeep Trail that winds across the high ridges to reach a Lookout station. For researchers of land use, the presence of a Corral at Stokes Flat indicates the area's continued utility for seasonal livestock ranging amidst the complex network of canyons like Acklin Canyon and Fife Canyon.
