2021 Map of Lyman Crossing

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash winds through a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of southeastern Lincoln County. This 2021 study of the Lyman Crossing quadrangle details a high-desert environment where water and transport routes are the primary markers of human presence. The north-south corridor of Co Rte 4230 serves as the main artery for the area, closely following the terrain near Long Valley. The map highlights the vast network of townships and ranges, including t8s r67e and t9s r68e, which structure this segment of the Great Basin. By documenting the current hydrology and road systems, this USGS map illustrates the persistent importance of natural watercourses like the Meadow Valley Wash in guiding the limited infrastructure of this remote Nevada region.
