About this map

Lime Mtn anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape, overseeing a remote section of Lincoln County characterized by drainage basins and ephemeral water sources. The transition from the high ground of the Tule Springs Hills down into the expansive Tule Desert is traced by several significant washes, including Garden Wash and Sams Camp Wash. These natural conduits dictate the movement of water across an arid terrain where every spring is a critical landmark.

Water management for ranching or wildlife is evident through infrastructure like the Sams Camp Reservoir and Middle Pond Reservoir. Named points of interest such as Jones Spring Point and utilitarian features like the Snow Trough near Snow Spring highlight the historical and ongoing importance of these few reliable water locations. The map illustrates a grid of township boundaries, including t9s r70e, that provide a framework for this isolated desert environment.
