1971 Map of Sidehill Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates the eastern half of this terrain, where water sources like Sidehill Spring, Jasper Spring, and Cris Spring provide critical relief in the arid Lincoln County landscape. To the west, the land falls away into the Cave Valley (Depression), a vast basin defined by sparse landmarks and an emphasis on industrial and ranching infrastructure. This 1970s survey captures the region's utilitarian development, showing an Aqueduct and Water Tank positioned to manage limited water resources, alongside evidence of mineral exploration such as a Drill Hole and Gravel Pit. The presence of Ruins and a network of Jeep Trails cutting through the foothills suggests a long history of human passage and temporary habitation in these high-elevation valleys. On the far eastern edge, the Muleshoe Valley begins to unfold, emphasizing the corrugated nature of this Great Basin environment.
