2014 Map of Lost Cabin Spring

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest encompasses a large portion of this Clark County landscape, where the high elevations of the Spring Mountains descend into the arid Mojave Desert. The survival of early inhabitants and travelers in this environment was tied directly to reliable water sources, many of which are identified here. High-country waters like Appaloosa Springs and Younts Spring provided critical stops for those moving through the mountain ranges. Further east, the namesake Lost Cabin Spring and nearby Lower Ranch Spring mark points of historical interest in the transition from peaks to valley floor. Modern access across the southern portion of the sheet is defined by Cathedral Canyon Rd, while the township and range boundaries provide a clear grid for tracking land ownership and historical mining or ranching claims.
