2012 Map of Vigo

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash defines the geography of this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, carving a central drainage path for both seasonal water and critical infrastructure. The Meadow Valley Wash RR follows the bends of this waterway, serving as a lifeline through a terrain marked by prominent natural landmarks such as The Rockets and Vigo Canyon. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse but strategic settlement patterns of the region, where locations like Vigo, Angle City, and Galt are tied directly to the corridor of the wash and the railway. The presence of Hackberry Spring and Hackberry Number One Spring near Hackberry Canyon highlights the essential water sources that supported activity in this arid environment, providing clear points of interest for those studying the intersection of transportation and topography.
