2021 Map of Fairview Peak

About this map

Fairview Peak dominates this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where the southern extent of the Fairview Range meets the broad Bristol Valley. This terrain is characterized by its vital water sources, as indicated by a high density of named springs that likely served as essential landmarks for early travelers and livestock. Notable examples include Hornsilver Spring, Indian Spring, and Cactus Spring. Drainage patterns across the quadrangle are defined by several large ephemeral washes, such as Fairview Wash, Scotty Wash, and Bailey Wash. The placement of Fox Cabin Spring and Peers Spring suggests focal points for local movement through the basin-and-range topography. This modern data, compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey, meticulously documents these permanent water features and the complex land survey system that partitions this arid region.
