About this map

The high elevation of the South Pahroc Range dominates the eastern half of this Lincoln County quadrangle, surveyed in the late 1960s. This landform acts as a massive natural barrier between the wide, level expanse of Six Mile Flat to the west and the Pahroc Valley on the eastern margin. The landscape reflects a mix of resource exploration and high-desert infrastructure typical of the era, marked by isolated sites for extraction and water management. Evidence of industrial interest is scattered across the slopes and flats, including a designated Mine and a Prospect tucked into the mountain foothills. Low-impact transit is represented by a series of primitive routes, including a primary Jeep Trail, while utilitarian features like a Drill Hole, Borrow Pit, and a Water Tank indicate the ongoing human activity required to maintain operations in this arid environment.
