About this map

Camp Valley and its surrounding high-altitude drainage systems define this section of Lincoln County. The landscape is a network of vital water sources and canyons, with Camp Valley Creek winding through a series of significant passes and peaks. High points like Table Mountain and the Wilson Creek Range tower over the valley floor, creating a natural corridor that has historically dictated travel and ranching patterns.

For those researching the environmental or agricultural history of the region, the density of named springs is remarkable. Features such as Hammond Ranch Spring, Lost Trail Spring, and Pine Springs illustrate the essential reliance on groundwater in this arid terrain. The presence of Adams Reservoir and various named hollows like Mutton Hollow further emphasize a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and the historical necessity of water management for livestock and settlement.
