1970 Map of Pahroc Summit Pass

About this map

Pahroc Summit Pass serves as the primary transit point through the high terrain of Lincoln County on this 1970s topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the massive north-south elevations of the Pahroc Range and South Pahroc Range, which separate the expansive Pahroc Valley from the adjacent Delamar Valley to the east. Human infrastructure in this arid environment is sparse and largely focused on water management and resource exploration. Small reservoirs like White Sage Res, Knoll Pond Res, and MacKay Res are scattered across the flats, while a single Drill Hole and a Water Tank indicate localized mining or ranching activity. Route 93 provides the only major thoroughfare, cutting across the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
