About this map

Wilson Creek Range dominates this portion of Lincoln County, defining a landscape where water sources are the primary landmarks for navigation and survival. Named springs are scattered throughout the high country, including Tower Spring, Lower Tower Spring, and Coalburner Spring, suggesting the vital importance of these points in an otherwise arid environment. The terrain rises to Pierson Summit in the eastern section of the map, while Red Buttes stands out to the south.

Infrastructure is sparse in this 2014 survey, limited to remote corridors like N Perlite Rd and the Willow Springs Loop. The map also captures the drainage patterns of the high desert, most notably Buster Wash near Buster Spring. The inclusion of these specific hydrologic features provides critical data for those studying grazing patterns, early ranching history, or backcountry travel routes in the Nevada wilderness.
