2014 Map of Monte Mountain

About this map

Monte Mountain and the Timpahute Range dominate this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where water sources are the primary landmarks for navigation. Numerous scattered springs, including Wheat Grass Spring, White Bluff Spring, and Coyote Spring, suggest a network of seasonal water critical to local movement across the basin and range. Human presence is defined by primitive routes like Tempiute Mine Rd, which leads toward the steep slopes near Chocolate Drop, and Penoyer Spring Rd traversing the northern flats. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by Schofield Pass, a natural corridor through the higher elevations. These labels indicate an area shaped by the requirements of early mineral prospecting and ranching, where remote outposts relied on specific reliable hydrology like The Seeps and Wild Horse Spring.
