2014 Map of Lockes

About this map

Lockes serves as the primary point of interest in this high-desert landscape, situated where the lowlands meet the rising elevations of the Pancake Range. The area is defined by a cluster of vital water sources east of the settlement, including Big Spring, Reynolds Springs, North Spring, and Hay Corral Spring. These features represent critical stopping points for livestock and travelers in an arid environment otherwise dominated by terrain like Big Round Valley and the steep incisions of Wood Canyon. This 2014 survey captures a moment when traditional Nevada ranching and transit infrastructure, including the highway through the valley, still rely on the geography of these natural springs. To the south, the map indicates a distinctive topographic formation known as The Wall, which stands apart from the broader mountain slopes.
