1970 Map of Pahroc Spring

About this map

North Pahroc Range dominates the central portion of this 1970s survey, representing a high-desert environment in Lincoln County where water sources dictate the patterns of human use. The landscape is defined by its verticality and the vital presence of several water points, including Pahroc Spring, Mustang Spring, and Little Boulder Spring, which would have been essential for cattle ranching operations in this arid region. The infrastructure on the map is sparse but telling; an Aqueduct cuts through the lowlands, and a Corral and Water Tank are noted near the mouth of Pahroc Canyon. These features, connected by a network of Jeep Trails, illustrate the era's reliance on motorized access for land management and livestock maintenance across the basin-and-range terrain. The broad Pahroc Valley to the south provides a stark contrast to the steep elevations of the range and the drainage of Boulder Wash.
