About this map

Tempiute Mountain dominates the center of this Lincoln County landscape, serving as a hub for mining activity during the mid-20th century. The presence of the Lincoln Mine and the nearby Schofield Mine suggests a period of intensive subterranean exploration, while the Tempiute Historic Site marks an area of earlier significance. The infrastructure of the era is evident through specialized features like the Lincoln Mine PIBAL Station and a remote Landing Strip located near the base of the mountain.

Water sources are critical to this arid environment, represented by a series of clustered springs in the south including Old Tikaboo Spring, April Fool Spring, and Sharp Spring. The terrain transitions from the broad Sand Spring Valley in the west across the high peaks of the Timpahute Range toward the Tikaboo Valley in the southeast. These named landmarks and mining claims provide essential coordinates for those researching the industrial and natural history of the high desert.
