2012 Map of Sidehill Spring

About this map

Sidehill Spring and several other groundwater sources define this arid landscape in Lincoln County. The area is characterized by a network of drainage ways and unimproved tracks, with S Cave Valley Rd serving as the primary north-south artery through the valley floor. Water remains the most significant feature for any surveyor or traveler in this region, as evidenced by the naming of Jasper Spring, Mule Shoe Spring, and Cris Spring. These remote water points represent critical landmarks for land management and cattle ranching in the high desert of eastern Nevada. The map reflects a landscape where human infrastructure is sparse, limited to the essential transportation routes and the preservation of natural springs.
