About this map

Lockes serves as a small anchor point in the arid high-desert landscape of central Nevada, situated along a primary transportation route that cuts diagonally across the basin. The settlement is defined by its proximity to several vital water sources, including Big Spring and North Spring, which likely supported the early ranching operations evident on this 2012 survey. Nearby, the Titus Ranch indicates the persistent thread of private land use and agriculture in an otherwise sparsely populated region.

The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the transition from the valley floor into the rising terrain of Wood Canyon, or Wood Cyn. The distribution of features like Hay Corral Spring and Reynolds Springs underscores the historical importance of water management in this environment. This map captures the intersection of modern highway infrastructure and traditional ranching sites that have defined this area of Nye County for generations.
