2011 Map of Lida

About this map

Lida remains the primary settlement in this high desert region of Esmeralda County, serving as a hub for the surrounding arid landscape. The map illustrates a territory defined by its essential water sources and historical industrial activity, specifically the presence of Stewarts Mill and the nearby Stewarts Spring. To the northeast, the topography is dominated by the prominence of Mount Jackson, while the lower elevations are marked by the winding path of Lida Canyon. Critical infrastructure is sparse but notable, including the Pipeline Reservoir and several vital springs such as Last Water Spring. The road network is anchored by Lida Rd, which cuts through the canyon and connects these isolated landmarks across the basin and range terrain. This 2011 survey documents a landscape where resource extraction and water management continue to dictate the patterns of human presence and movement.
