1985 Map of Murphy Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Golden Gate Range dominates the center of this Lincoln County landscape, serving as a high-altitude divide between two significant basins. To the west lies the broad expanse of Garden Valley, while Coal Valley stretches to the east. A critical passage through the mountains is found at Murphy Gap, where an unimproved road navigates the transition between these desert valleys. Evidence of high-desert survival and industry is sparse but present, marked by Sharp Spring in the north and a lone Well near the gap. In the northeastern reaches of the range, a documented Mine Shaft points to the region's prospecting history. The drainage pattern is defined by the ephemeral Cold Springs Wash, which carries seasonal runoff from the slopes into the arid valley floors below.
