About this map

Rachel serves as a primary settlement point in this high-desert landscape of Lincoln County, situated at the edge of the Sand Spring Valley. The area is defined by a network of specialized access routes, including Tempiute Well Rd and Nellis Range Rd, reflecting the region's intersection of mining history and military geography. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Timpahute Range, where Tempiute Mountain stands as a prominent landmark.

Evidence of the area's resource-driven development is found along the Tempiute Mine Rd, leading toward the community of Tempiute. Natural water sources like Buttes Spring and Tem Piute Spring are critical features in this arid environment, often dictating the placement of the early Corrals and roads that lace through Wildcat Canyon. This survey captures the remote character of a landscape shaped by high-elevation mining interests and desert transit.
