About this map

The Cedar Range anchors this high-elevation corner of Lincoln County, where the desert landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology and sharp topographical relief. Water sources are scarce but strategically named, including Keel Spring, Chokecherry Spring, and Buckboard Spring, which likely served as critical waypoints for early travelers and livestock. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Mosey Mtn and Empy Mtn, connected by the high passage at Empy Pass.

Drainage patterns are dominated by deep-cut washes such as Miller Spring Wash, Buckboard Wash, and Benny Wash, indicating a landscape shaped by sudden runoff events. Local landmarks like The Big Hogback and Little Mtn provide clear navigational markers across the varied elevations of Miller Bench and the narrow confinement of Miser Gulch. Access remains limited to rugged tracks like Oak Wells Rd and Beaver Dam Rd.
