About this map

Meadow Valley Wash winds through this arid section of Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns and historical travel routes across the landscape. The tiny settlements of Vigo, Angle City, and Galt are documented here along the wash, representing isolated outposts in a territory dominated by significant topographical formations. The southeastern portion of the map is occupied by the rising slopes of the Mormon Mountains, which give way to deeply incised features like Mormon Canyon.

Transport through this terrain is primarily focused on the drainage floor and the Moapa Rd, which navigates the corridor between Vigo Canyon and Hackberry Canyon. Natural water sources such as Hackberry Spring appear as critical landmarks for survival and ranching in this high-desert environment. This survey captures the sparse infrastructure of the region, where township lines like t10s r66e and t11s r67e organize vast stretches of open land.
