About this map

Pahroc Summit Pass serves as a critical geographic marker in this arid portion of Lincoln County, where the landscape is defined by its subtle drainage patterns and essential water catchments. The wide expanse of the Pahroc Valley dominates the central portion of the sheet, illustrating how transportation routes and land use are dictated by the underlying basin and range topography.

Water management is the primary human imprint on this desert terrain, evidenced by a network of named collection points including White Sage Reservoir, Thiriot Reservoir, and Knoll Pond Reservoir. For those studying the environmental history of the region, the location of natural water sources like Six Mile Spring and East Boulder Spring provides insight into the historical accessibility of this high-desert environment before modern infrastructure.
