2021 Map of South of Delamar Lake

About this map

Delamar Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in southeastern Nevada, where the topography is defined by intricate drainage patterns and rising elevations. The 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the complex terrain of the Basin and Range province, specifically highlighting the course of the Pahranagat Wash as it cuts through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. This area, largely devoid of modern development or permanent settlements, preserves the natural contours and public land divisions within the T8S R62E and T9S R63E townships. For those studying the arid geography of Lincoln County, the map provides a precise look at the seasonal watercourses and ridges that have historically challenged travelers and ranchers in this part of the Great Basin.
