About this map

The Echo Canyon Reservoir State Recreation Area serves as a focal point in this Lincoln County landscape, centered around the Echo Canyon Reservoir and its associated Campground and Boat Ramp. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Rose Valley Wash, Meadow Valley Wash, and Hamlight Wash, which navigate between prominent elevations like Red Buttes and through Long Canyon.

Infrastructure in the early 1970s is characterized by the Union Pacific railroad corridor and a remote Landing Field. Human activity in the valley is marked by industrial and agricultural markers such as a Gravel Pit, a Corral, and various scattered wells. The area's topography is further detailed by the intersection of the Nevada Base Line and numerous Jeep Trails that crisscross Hamlight Flat and Lake Valley.
