About this map

The Singatse Range and the Buckskin Range dominate this Nevada landscape, meeting at the namesake Lincoln Flat. This 1988 provisional survey documents a high-desert environment shaped by mineral exploration and water scarcity. Resource extraction is evident throughout the terrain, centered on industrial sites like the Minnesota Mine, the Guild Placer Mines, and the Martha Washington Shafts.

Critical water sources are sparse and specifically noted, including Churchill Well, Sario Well, and Willow Spring. Topographic landmarks such as Churchill Canyon and Wishart Hill provide navigation points for those crossing the various summits. Notable transit routes through the high country are documented at Gallagher Pass and Mason Pass, connecting the high flats to the adjacent Mason Valley as the county boundary crosses between Lyon and Douglas counties.
