2015 Map of Hiko

About this map

Hiko and the surrounding Pahranagat Valley are defined by a network of springs and lakes that break the arid landscape of Lincoln County. This survey illustrates the vital role of water in the high desert, featuring Hiko Spring and Crystal Springs feeding into bodies like Nesbitt Lake and Frenchy Lake. The terrain is dominated by the Hiko Range, which is carved by the prominent Hiko Canyon to the west. Rural development is tied to these water sources, shown through local landmarks such as Stewart Brothers Ranch Rd and Cannon Ranch Rd. The map also captures the vast Sixmile Flat and the drainage of Crystal Wash and Pahranagat Cr, detailing the intricate relationship between topography and human ranching activity in the Great Basin.
