2014 Map of Leith

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash defines the north-south axis of this eastern Nevada landscape, creating a vital corridor through the high desert of Lincoln County. The small settlements of Kyle and Leith appear as distinct markers along this drainage, with Carp Rd providing the primary overland connection through the valley. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and springs that sustained life in this arid region, from the seasonal flows of Coldwater Cr to hidden water sources like Fountain of Youth Spring and Mudhole Spring. Topographically, the area is divided into significant landforms such as Long Valley and Cottonwood Canyon, reflecting the rugged geologic character of the Mormon Mountains vicinity. The inclusion of named features like Horse Pasture Canyon and Cougar Canyon highlights the area's history as rangeland where water and terrain dictated the patterns of human movement and settlement.
