1969 Map of Lower Pahranagat Lake SW

About this map

Desert National Wildlife Range encompasses this basin-and-range landscape, defined by the stark transition between the valley floor and the towering peaks of the Sheep Range and Pahranagat Range. In the lower elevations, the Desert Lake (Depression) serves as a focal point for the region's drainage, surrounded by shifting Sand Dunes. The land's human history is marked by the Old Corn Creek Road, a primitive route that traverses the arid flats of the Desert National Wildlife Range. The convergence of these geological features highlights the characteristic isolation of Lincoln County, where seasonal water patterns and ancient wind-formed deposits dictate the layout of the desert floor.
