1973 Map of Toquop Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Tule Desert and its surrounding mountain ranges dominate this 1970s topographic study of Lincoln County. The arid landscape is defined by drainage patterns like Garden Wash and Sams Camp Wash, which flow toward the rugged Mormon Mountains and East Mormon Mts. This era of surveying captures the critical water infrastructure required for survival in the high desert, including the Tule Desert Well, Toquop Gap Reservoir, and Tule Desert Reservoir. These features, along with Summit Spring, suggest a landscape managed for cattle or transit through the Gap. The presence of a single Prospect near Jumbled Mtn in the Tule Springs Hills indicates the persistent search for mineral wealth in the carbonate rocks of southeastern Nevada, while numerous Jeep Trails crisscrossing the terrain show the modern accessibility of this desert interior.
