1969 Map of South of Delamar Lake

About this map

The Delamar Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, characterized by a series of peaks and complex ridgelines. Based on aerial photography from 1967 and field checks in 1969, the map reveals a terrain primarily defined by natural topography rather than human development. The absence of named settlements, roads, or structures across the quadrangle suggests a remote and unpopulated region of the Great Basin, where the focus remains on the geological formations and the surveyed township lines like T. 8 S. and T. 9 S. that organize this portion of the public land survey system. The intricate contour lines detail the elevation changes between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, providing a precise record of the physical geography before any major contemporary changes were observed during a 1980 photoinspection.
