1978 Map of Peace Valley

About this map

Kirkland Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research in this rural portion of Lincoln County, situated near the headwaters of Dead Horse Creek. The landscape is defined by the broad drainage systems of Peace Valley and the expansive Ninemile Flats, where seasonal water sources like Pats Draw and various unnamed Springs dictate the placement of ranching infrastructure. Isolated landmarks such as the Andy Windmill and several water Tank sites emphasize the importance of groundwater in this high plains environment during the late 1970s.
