1973 Map of Tule Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Tule Spring and Abe Spring serve as rare water sources in this arid stretch of Lincoln County, situated where the Tule Desert meets the rising elevations of the Tule Springs Hills. The landscape is defined by vast alluvial basins and sharp topographical changes, exemplified by the jagged formations of Jumbled Mtn and the banded ridges known as The Ribbons. Evidence of human activity is limited to a network of rugged paths labeled as Jeep Trail, which connect isolated sites of interest such as the Prospect locations near the center and southern reaches of the quadrangle. High-altitude basins like Steer Flat break up the north-south alignment of the hills, while seasonal drainage patterns are recorded through features like Sand Hollow Wash on the eastern edge. This 1970s survey captures the region's remote character before modern encroachment, documenting the essential water points and trails used by cattlemen and explorers.
