2012 Map of Toquop Gap

About this map

Toquop Gap defines this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where the dry drainage systems of Garden Wash and Sams Camp Wash converge toward Toquop Wash. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the Tule Desert Reservoir and Toquop Gap Reservoir, which serve as critical landmarks along the limited road network represented by S Fork Rd. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the steep topography of Jumbled Mountain, where Summit Spring provides a rare point of natural hydration. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse, utilitarian human presence in the Nevada desert, emphasizing the vital role of seasonal washes and isolated springs in a terrain shaped more by geology than settlement.
