2018 Map of Leith

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash defines the western corridor of this Lincoln County landscape, serving as a primary hydrological and transit artery through the high desert. The small settlements of Kyle and Leith are positioned along this waterway, where the terrain breaks into a complex system of drainage channels and canyons. These canyon systems, including Leith Canyon, Cottonwood Canyon, and Horse Springs Canyon, illustrate the erosional patterns of the region's dry washes. Water access in this arid environment is localized at named points such as Oil Spring, Mudhole Spring, and the evocatively named Fountain of Youth Spring near the eastern boundary. The presence of Carp RD and CO Rte 4230 suggests the continued importance of these historical transit routes through the rugged Basin and Range geography.
