1987 Map of Monte Mountain

About this map

The Timpahute Range dominates this late-twentieth-century study of Lincoln County, where the high desert landscape is punctuated by vital water sources. Names like Monte Spring, Tunnel Spring, and Penoyer Springs highlight the importance of these isolated features in an arid environment. Near the southern slopes of Monte Mountain, a recorded Prospect indicates the area's historical connection to mineral exploration, even in its more remote reaches. Further west, the terrain shifts near Schofield Pass and the curiously named Chocolate Drop formation. This 1987 edition represents a provisional revision of mid-century aerial surveys, documenting the exact locations of ephemeral water sites like The Seeps as they were known during the 1980s.
