2021 Map of Rosencrans Knolls

About this map

Limestone Hills rise sharply along the western edge of this Nevada landscape, overlooking a series of watercourses and topographical breaks that define the local drainage patterns. The map focuses on the high-desert character of eastern Lincoln County, where the eponymous Rosencrans Knolls stand as a distinct landform above the surrounding valley floors. The presence of W Ditch and E Ditch alongside Rosencrans Cr suggests a history of water management and attempts to utilize the intermittent flows of the high basin for grazing or other local uses.
