1969 Map of Vigo NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Petroglyphs located in the northern hills suggest a deep human history within this arid Lincoln County landscape, long before modern geological interest. The area is defined by the significant drainage of Kane Springs Wash, which cuts a broad path southwest through the terrain towards the Meadow Valley Wash mountains. Water sources are critical here, evidenced by the presence of Kane Springs and Grapevine Spring, providing vital points of reference in a territory otherwise dominated by dry canyons and alluvial fans. A singular Water Tank stands near the Kane Springs headwaters, indicating the sparse infrastructure used to support ranching or travel in this high desert environment during the late 1960s. The rugged eastern flank is marked by Hackberry Canyon, where the steep relief of the mountains meets the valley floor.
