2021 Map of South of Gregerson Basin

About this map

Wire Grass Spring provides a rare point of named hydrography in this high desert landscape, located deep within the Delamar Mountains. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a terrain of extreme verticality, where the western ridgelines eventually give way to the broad, flat expanse of the Kane Springs Valley in the southeast. The map is defined by its complex contour patterns, illustrating the rugged geological character of this part of Lincoln County. The vast majority of the quadrangle is undeveloped mountain country, with the land divided by the Public Land Survey System into townships such as t8s r64e and t9s r64e. The transition from the steep Delamar range to the valley floor reflects the classic basin-and-range geography of southern Nevada.
