2014 Map of Tule Spring

About this map

Tule Spring and Abe Spring serve as critical water points in this arid stretch of Lincoln County, defining the sparse landscape. The area is characterized by the broad expanse of the Tule Desert and the complex elevations of the Tule Springs Hills and Jumbled Mtn. Human presence is marked by a network of primitive tracks, including Steer Flat Rd and Camp Rd, which provide access to high-plateau features like Steer Flat. The topography includes distinctive formations such as The Ribbons and the drainage of Sand Hollow Wash, showing the natural conduits for seasonal runoff through the high desert. This documentation captures the fundamental relationship between water sources and travel routes in a region where geography dictates movement.
