About this map

Dry Lake Valley (Depression) and the Delamar Valley dominate this arid landscape, separated by the elevated reaches of the Burnt Springs Range. Surveyed in 1970, the map illustrates a terrain where water is the primary driver of naming and movement, featuring isolated water sources like Seven Oaks Spring, Red Rock Spring, and Grassy Spring. The presence of an Aqueduct cutting through the center of the sheet highlights the critical management of resources in this Lincoln County desert.

Surface drainage is defined by a network of seasonal washes, including Cottonwood Wash and the distinctively named Monkey Wrench Wash. Human activity is primarily industrial and transit-oriented, evidenced by several Gravel Pits and a winding network of Jeep Trails that navigate the slopes and valley floors. This survey provides a precise look at the 1970s desert infrastructure, from remote Prospects to established hydrological markers.
