1985 Map of Mesquite NW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Tule Springs Hills dominate the northern landscape of this Lincoln County terrain, where the arid environment is defined by complex drainage systems rather than permanent settlements. The Toquop Wash serves as the primary topographic artery, cutting a deep path southward through the desert floor. This 1985 provisional edition reveals the intricate contouring of the region's alluvial fans and the confluence where the South Fork joins the main wash. The presence of Tule Springs at the foot of the hills suggests a vital water source in an otherwise dry expanse, a critical landmark for those tracing the historical movement of people and livestock through the eastern Nevada desert. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow and geological transition, captured during a period of detailed field checking in the late 1970s.
