2023 Map of Nelson Canyon East

About this map

Buckwater Spring provides a rare water source in this high-altitude landscape of Lincoln County, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage basins and ridges. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region largely devoid of dense settlement, dominated instead by topographic features such as Blackwater Canyon in the northwest and Tecolote Canyon to the south.
