2012 Map of Lehman Caves

About this map

Bellander Ranch sits at the base of the mountain front, marking a pocket of settlement where Silver Creek flows toward the Silver Creek Reservoir. The drainage patterns here reveal a landscape defined by seasonal water flow, with Miller Basin Wash and Weaver Creek cutting across the alluvial fans. To the south, recreation and hydrology intersect at the Upper Lehman Creek Campground and Lower Lehman Creek Campground, which follow the course of Lehman Creek. Local infrastructure is captured through historic transportation routes such as Old 6-50 and Old Hwy 6, showing the evolution of regional transit. The map identifies specific water sources critical to the high desert environment, including Strawberry Spring and Bone Spring, which likely served as vital landmarks for early ranchers and travelers navigating the area between the Red Hills and Burnt Mill Canyon.
