1969 Map of Lower Pahranagat Lake SE

About this map

Desert National Wildlife Range dominates this landscape in southern Lincoln County, as documented by field checks in 1969. The topography is defined by the steep verticality of the Sheep Range, which gives way to the broad, arid expanse of Coyote Spring Valley in the southeast. This survey captures a moment in the mid-20th century before significant modern infrastructure altered the drainage patterns of Pahranagat Wash. The absence of roads or trails throughout the entire quadrangle emphasizes the area's primary role as a protected habitat and geological corridor. Precise survey lines for T. 10 S. and T. 11 S. grid the map, providing a structural framework for a terrain that remained largely undeveloped and dedicated to wildlife conservation during this era.
