1985 Map of Murphy Gap NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Garden Valley dominates the western portion of this 1980s landscape, a vast interior basin where the open terrain meets the rising contours of the Golden Gate Range to the east. This provisional survey captures the remote character of Lincoln County, highlighting the critical water sources required for life in the high desert, such as Put Back Spring located in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map is bisected by the Base Line, a fundamental surveying reference that coordinates the township and range system between Township 1 and 2 North. Landmarks like Rock Hill provide distinct topographic relief in an area primarily defined by drainage patterns and unimproved roads, offering a clear view of the Nevada backcountry before modern digital mapping replaced these manuscript-style drawings.
