2021 Map of Lower Pahranagat Lake SE

About this map

The Sheep Range dominates the western landscape of this Lincoln County quadrangle, where high ridges transition into the alluvial fans of the desert floor. This area is defined by its topographic extremes and the vital presence of water in an arid environment, exemplified by the remote Elderberry Spring located in the southern sections. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns that feed into the Pahranagat Wash, which carves a path through the eastern valley. These natural features dictated the early movement of people and livestock through the region, as the availability of water at isolated springs was the primary constraint on travel and survival. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with grid lines for T9S R61E and T10S R62E providing a structured overlay to the natural relief of the mountains and basins.
