1970 Map of The Bluffs

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Robber Roost Hills and the Burnt Springs Range dominate this 1970 landscape, offering a window into the geological and ranching history of Lincoln County. The map details a transition from the elevated peaks of The Bluffs and the Black Canyon Range down to the low-lying Lake Valley (Depression) and Dry Lake. This arid terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, notably Coyote Wash and the convergent paths of Black Canyon and Monument Canyon. Small-scale human markers like a solitary Corral and scattered Water Tanks reflect the area's use for livestock in an environment where water is a scarce and managed resource. Prominent landmarks such as Stapely Knoll and Grey Knoll serve as critical navigation points across the rugged, trail-crossed desert.
