2018 Map of Pahroc Spring

About this map

Pahroc Spring and other vital water sources define the survival and settlement patterns of this arid Lincoln County landscape. The topography is dominated by the Pahroc Range and its northern extension, the North Pahroc Range, which create significant natural barriers and drainage channels. Runoff from these elevations has carved dramatic features like Pahroc Canyon and established seasonal drainage routes through Boulder Wash and Miller Wash. The reliance on localized springs, including Mustang Spring and Little Boulder Spring, highlights the geographic constraints for any human activity or ranching in the Pahroc Valley. This 2018 survey detail provides a modern look at the traditional township and range divisions, such as t3s r62e, within the context of a high-desert basin-and-range environment.
