About this map

Mormon Peak dominates the high ground of the Mormon Mountains in this desert portion of Lincoln County. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Whitmore Wash, which cuts across the arid terrain. Water sources are scarce in this high-elevation environment, with Davies Spring serving as a notable point of interest for those tracing the historical movement of people and livestock through the region.

Surface transportation is limited to rugged tracks such as Whitmore Wash Rd and Moapa Rd, which follow natural contours and drainage paths. The map detail reflects a remote wilderness used primarily for cattle grazing and transit, centered around landmarks like Mormon Canyon. This 2014 survey captures the topography of a region where geography dictates movement, preserving the locations of critical water sources and access routes through the eastern Nevada desert.
