1973 Map of Tule Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Tule Spring and Abe Spring provide critical water points in this arid pocket of Lincoln County, where the topography transitions from the open Tule Desert into the broken terrain of the Tule Spring Hills. This 1970s survey captures a landscape defined by isolation, where human activity is limited to a few scattered signs of exploration and passage. The presence of a Prospect in the southern hills suggests mineral interest typical of the region, while named terrain features like Steer Flat, Jumbled Mtn, and the curiously named The Ribbons indicate a landscape well-known to local ranchers and surveyors. The network of Jeep Trails and unnamed Trails weaving through Sand Hollow and across the desert floor reveals the primary routes for navigating this remote territory before modern development or major cultural changes occurred.
