2012 Map of Rox

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash defines the north-south axis of this high desert terrain in Lincoln County, where the narrow drainage provides a vital corridor through an otherwise arid landscape. The map centers on the small rail-side settlements of Hoya and Rox, markers of the transportation network that follows the natural path of the wash. These outposts, situated along the Meadow Valley Wash Rd, represent the sparse human footprint in a region dominated by drainage patterns and seasonal water sources like Upper Cone Springs and Grape Vine Spring. The topography transitions from the broad wash into the rising walls of Mormon Canyon, a landscape where every named spring and canyon served as a critical landmark for early travel and ranching in eastern Nevada.
