2018 Map of Lower Pahranagat Lake SW

About this map

Desert Lake sits at the base of the Sheep Range, highlighting the arid basin-and-range topography characteristic of this part of southern Nevada. In this 2018 survey, the landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes between the valley floor and the high ridges of the Pahranagat Range. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the path of Alamo Rd as it skirts the edge of the mountains. This area serves as a critical point for local water sources in a dry environment, notably featuring Sheep Mountain Spring. The map provides a look at the township and range grid system across several sections, including t10s r61e and t11s r60e, showing how the land was partitioned in this remote corner of Lincoln County.
