2012 Map of Hiko SE

About this map

Sixmile Flat dominates the northwestern portion of this Lincoln County landscape, showing the characteristic wide, level basin floor typical of the Great Basin. The terrain rises sharply toward the northeast at Pahroc Summit Pass, a critical topographical notch that dictates the path of regional travel. Movement through this arid region is largely defined by the corridor of Route 93, which cuts a straight line across the high desert floor before ascending the pass. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when this area remained primarily an expanse of natural drainage patterns and sparse desert infrastructure, centered on the singular arterial connection between distant basins.
