1970 Map of Fossil Peak

About this map

Pahranagat Valley and the surrounding high desert terrain are the primary focus of this 1970 survey, capturing a remote section of Lincoln County before modern developments. The geography is defined by the Seaman Range and the Hiko Range, which flank the central valley floor. Water management in this arid environment is evident through several mapped wells, including Well 4022 and Well 3948, along with the John Wright Reservoir situated near the Hiko Narrows. The White River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, while the presence of a Drill Hole and various jeep trails suggest localized exploration and land use in the vast Sixmile Flat region. Rising prominently over the landscape is Fossil Peak, a significant topographic landmark for the area.
