2012 Map of Pony Springs

About this map

Pony Springs serves as a small waypoint in this high-desert region of Lincoln County, where water sources dictate the landscape's utility. The presence of numerous named water features, including Pony Spring, Rosebud Spring, Cedar Spring, and Willow Tree Spring, highlights the critical importance of localized hydrology for livestock and early travelers. The terrain is structured by a grid of rural access routes like Lake Valley Acres Rd and D Ranch Rd, reflecting late-20th-century land divisions and ranching infrastructure. Aviation history is noted by the Lake Valley Landing Strip in the northern portion of the quadrangle, while the Divide Reservoir provides a man-made water catchment to the south. This survey documents the intersection of modern road networks with the reliable desert springs that have historically sustained this corner of Nevada.
