About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Clover Mountains dominates this Lincoln County landscape, centered on the prominent peak of Fife Mtn. Water management is the primary human footprint shown, with several catchments such as South Canyon Reservoir, Three Points Reservoir, and Cliff Reservoir distributed across the high basins. These features, along with names like Sheep Flat and Fife Flat, suggest a history of seasonal grazing in this corner of Nevada.

Natural water sources appear as isolated springs, including Fife Spring, Grapevine Spring, and Sheep Spring, which are critical landmarks in this arid environment. The map details a complex drainage system led by Pine Wash, which cuts through several deep canyons including Jacks Canyon and Sheep Canyon. The intricate contour work illustrates the transition from the level flats to the broken ridges of the Clover Mountains range.
