1973 Map of Tule Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Tule Spring and Abe Spring offer rare water sources in this arid stretch of Lincoln County, Nevada. The landscape is dominated by the Tule Springs Hills and the sweeping Tule Desert, showing the region as it was surveyed in the early 1970s. A solitary Prospect located near the center of the hills suggests early mineral exploration in an otherwise high-elevation wilderness. The map details a network of primitive Jeep Trails that cross the topography near Steer Flat and the unusually named formations of The Ribbons. To the west, Jumbled Mtn rises sharply, while the eastern portion of the sheet is defined by the drainage of Sand Hollow Wash. This document records a time before modern developments, focused on the natural landforms and isolated spring locations critical for travel in the Great Basin.
