About this map

Meadow Valley Wash defines the drainage patterns of this high desert landscape in Lincoln County, where seasonal watercourses like Bennett Springs Wash and Miller Spring Wash cut through the terrain. The map highlights a series of isolated outposts and livestock operations, including Mathews Ranch and the uniquely named One Thousand One Ranch. These sites represent the enduring ranching economy of eastern Nevada, where vast distances are bridged by routes such as Hafen Way and Beaver Dam Rd.

Geological features such as Chief Canyon, Cobalt Canyon, and the broad expanse of Miller Bench dominate the eastern portion of the quadrangle. A notable piece of local aviation infrastructure is found at the Oxborrow Ranch Landing Field, providing a critical connection point in this sparsely settled region. To the south, the settlement at Indian Cove sits near the head of Meadow Valley, marking a point of transition between the upland canyons and the broader wash.
