1986 Map of Honest John Well

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Honest John Well serves as a critical water source in this arid high-desert landscape of Lincoln County, situated on the western edge of Spring Valley. This 1986 provisional edition captures the vast, open character of the Great Basin, where human presence is marked only by sparse infrastructure. A lone Corral and a primitive Trail are the primary indicators of ranching activity in an otherwise isolated basin floor. The terrain is defined by a rhythmic sequence of alluvial fans descending from the surrounding mountains, documented through detailed elevation points such as 5381at and 5107at. This survey reflects the mid-1980s era of land management, emphasizing the vital importance of localized water points for livestock and transit in the remote Nevada interior.
