2018 Map of Rosencrans Knolls

About this map

Limestone Hills rise abruptly in the western portion of this Lincoln County survey, providing a stark topographical contrast to the more level terrain of Hamlin Valley to the east. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including the branching paths of Rosencrans Cr and Wood McCullough Cr, which flow toward the lower basin. Human modification of the arid environment is evident through irrigation and water management features such as West Ditch, East Ditch, and the specifically labeled West-pitch. Centrally located, the namesake Rosencrans Knolls stand as a distinct landform among the intersecting creek beds. The map details the Township and Range system across T7N and T6N, illustrating how early land divisions organized this corner of the Great Basin.
