About this map

The Union Pacific railroad line forms the primary industrial corridor through this portion of Lincoln County, following the natural course of the Meadow Valley Wash. This arid landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the canyon floor and the surrounding Bunker Hills. The presence of a Borrow Pit and various Prospect locations indicates active extraction or exploration along the rail route during the late 1960s. Small infrastructure points like a Water Tank and a scattered Well mark the critical importance of water management for the railroad and nearby siding at Hoya. The terrain is navigable only by a few primitive routes, including a Jeep Trail, illustrating the isolation of this desert transport artery.
