About this map

Lucin stands as the primary landmark in this remote corner of Box Elder County, situated where the high desert terrain of the Tecoma Valley meets the rising elevations of the Pilot Range. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape defined by its vital water sources and rugged topography, with isolated peaks such as Gartney Mtn, Lucin Hill, and Lion Mtn providing prominent navigational markers.

A network of specialized roads, including Pilot Mountain Rd and the Pigeon Mountain Loop, facilitates movement across the arid flats. The map highlights critical springs that have historically supported life in this environment, including Coal Bank Springs, Indian Spring, and Tunnel Spring Number 1. These features, along with Grouse Cr, illustrate the essential relationship between water availability and human activity in the Great Basin region.
