2014 Map of Pahranagat Wash

About this map

Pahranagat Wash flows through this desert landscape in Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns of the high arid basins. The terrain is dominated by the steep slopes of the Delamar Mountains to the northeast, which give way to the relatively level floor of the Coyote Spring Valley. The convergence of these geological features highlights the natural corridor used by modern infrastructure, including the highway marked 93. In the southern portion of the map, Coyote Springs marks a vital water source in this dry environment near the junction of the Kane Springs Wash. The map reveals how the sparse network of desert roads, such as Kane Springs Rd, follows the natural contours of the washes and valleys, illustrating the persistent influence of topography on travel in the Nevada backcountry.
