About this map

Kane Springs Valley defines the landscape of this Lincoln County region, where the broad desert basin meets the rising slopes of the Meadow Valley Mountains. The topography is shaped by the drainage of Kane Springs Wash, which cuts diagonally across the quadrangle, and the deeply incised Hackberry Canyon to the south. Though largely an arid expanse, the map identifies critical water sources essential for navigation and cattle ranching in the high desert, including Kane Springs, Stewart Spring, and Sunflower Spring. These isolated points of water, along with Live Oak Spring, reveal the historic importance of reliable springs in an otherwise unforgiving environment, providing the necessary landmarks for those traversing the eastern Nevada interior during the early 21st century.
