2012 Map of Lower Pahranagat Lake SE

About this map

Elderberry Spring provides a rare point of named hydrography in the southwestern corner of this high-desert basin. The landscape is dominated by the ephemeral drainage of the Pahranagat Wash, which cuts across the eastern boundary of the quadrangle. As a modern digital-era survey from the U.S. Geological Survey, the map uses refined topographic data to trace the subtle desert contours and dry watercourses that define the region's drainage patterns. This sparsely developed portion of Lincoln County showcases the expansive, open character of the Great Basin, where water sources like Elderberry Spring were historically critical for movement through the arid interior.
