2018 Map of Murphy Gap SE

About this map

Coal Valley dominates the high desert landscape of Lincoln County in this 2018 survey. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial reaches and intermittent water features, most notably the Murphy Gap Reservoir situated at the northern edge of the sheet. Transportation through this arid basin relies on the long, unpaved stretch of Mail Summit Rd, which traverses the valley floor and connects the remote reaches of the public land system. Drainage patterns are defined by the seasonal flow of Cold Springs Wash, illustrating the sparse but critical water network in this part of Nevada. This map provides a precise view of the township and range divisions, documenting the spatial organization of these basins before any significant modern development altered the land use patterns.
