About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain dominates this 2018 survey of Lincoln County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Toquop Wash system. This arid region shows a distinct network of utility and service corridors, notably the long stretch of Phone Cable Rd and its accompanying Phone Cable Access Rd. These routes cut across the township and range lines, providing essential infrastructure through the open desert.

Hydrological features like the S Fork Toquop Wash illustrate the natural erosion patterns of the basin. The presence of specialized transport routes such as Lower Toquop Rd and Toquop Wash Rd suggests the ongoing management of this environment for communications and land access in the early 21st century. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid as it interfaces with the actual topography of the Nevada desert.
