2015 Map of Islen

About this map

Barclay and Islen anchor the southeastern and central corridors of this Lincoln County survey, where the deep drainage of Clover Creek Canyon cuts through the desert landscape. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with water sources like Big Spring, Little Springs, and Chokecherry Spring serving as vital landmarks in an arid environment. Transportation through the canyons is traced by rural routes including Beaver Dam Rd and the winding Clover Canyon Rd, connecting small settlements to the broader Clover Valley. Dramatic topographic shifts are evident between the high plateau of Flat Top and the deep incisions of Minto Canyon and Oak-Well Canyon. This map provides a look at the remote canyon-and-valley system where the desert floor meets the rising relief of the Clover Mountains region.
