2014 Map of Fife Mountain

About this map

The high desert landscape of Fife Mtn and the northern reaches of the Clover Mountains dominate this 2014 survey of Lincoln County. This area is defined by its seasonal water sources and livestock management infrastructure, shown through a series of isolated catchments like Fife Flat Reservoir, Cedar Reservoir, and the Mag Reservoir. These reservoirs, scattered across high plains such as Fife Flat and Sheep Flat, reflect the ranching history of the Great Basin where water is the primary driver of movement and activity. Beyond the basins, the terrain is cut by numerous drainages including Jacks Canyon, Tanks Canyon, and Pine Canyon. Natural water sources like Fife Spring and Grapevine Spring provide reliable points for local researchers and genealogists tracing historical movement along rural routes like Stoker Flats Rd and Barns Canyon Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Gum Hill and the deep canyons to the south.
