2012 Map of Milk Ranch Spring

About this map

Patterson Pass serves as a critical corridor through the high terrain of Lincoln County, where Patterson Pass Rd provides the primary transit route. The surrounding landscape is defined by the elevation of Mount Montezuma and a network of essential water sources that have historically sustained life in this arid region. The distribution of these water points, including Milk Ranch Spring, Schwartz Spring, and Ledge Spring, suggests a reliance on scattered hydrologic features for cattle ranching or early travel. Other named points like Roadside Spring, Rosebud Spring, and Antelope Spring further illustrate the sparse but vital water geography of the area as it appeared in 2012.
