2018 Map of The Bluffs

About this map

The Bluffs and the surrounding high desert terrain of Lincoln County dominate this geographic study. The landscape is defined by the elevation changes between the Bristol Valley to the north and the complex ridges of the Burnt Springs Range and Black Canyon Range further south. The drainage patterns of Coyote Wash provide a seasonal corridor through this arid environment, while dramatic landforms like the Robber Roost Hills and Monument Canyon suggest the erosional forces that have shaped the region. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear look at the public land survey system divisions across these highlands, documenting the relationship between named landmarks like Stapely Knoll and the deeper cuts of Black Canyon and Dog Hollow.
