2021 Map of Murphy Gap

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Golden Gate Range dominates the central topography of this Lincoln County survey, providing a sharp natural barrier between the broad expanse of Garden Valley to the northwest and the high desert of Wild Horse Valley below. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns and historical travel routes, most notably Mail Summit Rd, which snakes through the eponymous Murphy Gap to connect these isolated valleys. Rare water sources in this arid environment are marked by Sharp Spring in the north and Tule Spring in the northeast. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Cold Springs Wash provides a seasonal drainage path paralleled in part by Cold Spring Rd, illustrating how early trail and road networks were dictated by the scarce water and accessible mountain passes of the Nevada interior.
