2014 Map of Mustang Well

About this map

Lake Valley dominates the topography of this eastern Nevada basin, providing a stark perspective on the arid Lincoln County landscape in the early 21st century. The map centers on the critical water source at Mustang Well, a vital landmark for desert navigation and livestock in a region defined by its sparsity of resources. Flowing from the hills in the southeast, Wilson Cr cuts through the basin floor, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this high-desert environment. Access to this remote area is primarily facilitated by Lake Valley Rd, which skirts the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial layout of the Public Land Survey System, showing the township and range grids that continue to govern land management across these expansive basins.
