2012 Map of Lower Pahranagat Lake SW

About this map

Desert Lake occupies the southern reach of this arid basin in Lincoln County, anchoring a landscape defined by expansive alluvial fans and desert drainage patterns. Two primary historical thoroughfares, Old Corn Creek Rd and Alamo Rd, traverse the valley floor, tracing routes that have long connected the remote springs and settlements of southern Nevada. Near the base of the rising terrain to the east, Sheep Mountain Spring provides a critical water source in an otherwise dry environment. The sparse distribution of named features on this sheet reflects the geographic isolation of the area, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the accessibility of these established desert roads.
