About this map

Lime Mtn rises above the transition between high desert terrain and the expansive Tule Desert in this Lincoln County study. The landscape is defined by its water management features and seasonal drainage patterns, essential for life in this arid corner of Nevada. Significant topographical landmarks like Jones Spring Point and the Tule Springs Hills provide orientation across the remote basins.

Surface water is carefully noted through a series of human-made and natural features, including the Middle Pond Reservoir and Sams Camp Reservoir. These sites, along with Snow Spring and the Snow Trough, suggest a history of ranching or land use dependent on intermittent resources. The drainage network is dominated by the broad Garden Wash and Sams Camp Wash, which channel seasonal runoff through the valley floors.
