About this map

Clover Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain, where several named peaks and canyons reveal a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and historic passage. Significant elevations including Jacks Mtn, Sawmill Mtn, and Diamond Peak watch over a network of washes and canyons, such as Quaking Aspen Canyon and Purgatory Hole Canyon. The presence of several vital water sources, including Shoemake Spring, Topah Spring, and Kate Spring, indicates the traditional importance of these spots for travelers and livestock in an otherwise arid environment.

Transportation through this part of Lincoln County relies on primitive routes like Sam's Camp Rd and Lime Mountain Rd, which skirt the northern edges of the Tule Desert. Key navigational landmarks such as East Pass and The Narrows provide passage between the steep drainages of Mud Springs Wash and E Pass Wash. This survey documents a quiet section of the Great Basin where the topography remains the primary feature, untouched by significant modern development.
