About this map

Goodsprings stands as the primary anchor in this high-desert landscape of Clark County, situated at the edge of the Mojave Desert. The map reveals a legacy of resource extraction and transit through the Spring Mountains, marked by industrial infrastructure such as the Goodsprings Bypass Gravel Haul Rte and Rainbow Quarry Rd. Water sources, essential in this arid environment, are clearly documented at Good Spring, New England Springs, and the specifically named New England Mining Companys Spring, suggesting the area's historical reliance on localized groundwater for both mining operations and settlement.

Terrain features dominate the western and central portions of the quadrangle, with prominent heights like Lookout Peak and Table Mtn overlooking the Goodsprings Valley. Natural drainages such as Porter Wash, Singer Wash, and the strikingly named Deadmans Canyon define the watershed as it descends toward Ivanpah Valley. Mountain travel is traced through several low points, including Columbia Pass and Crystal Pass, illustrating the corridors used to navigate the elevation between the valley floors.
