About this map

Cavanaugh Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this Lincoln County landscape, overlooking a complex system of drainages and high-altitude water management. The terrain is defined by the Bear River Divide, which separates the various seasonal and perennial flows that carve through the hills. This 2017 survey details a network of water resources including Richey Reservoir, Fme Reservoir, and Skull Point Reservoir, illustrating how the high desert environment has been adapted for storage.

Remote tracks like Co Rd 328 provide the primary access to these uplands, where Warfield Springs serves as a notable natural feature amidst the arid surroundings. Several named drainages, such as Warfield Cr, Carter Cr, and Heard Hollow Cr, reveal the natural erosion patterns of the divide. The presence of these reservoirs alongside natural springs like Warfield Springs suggests a landscape managed for livestock or local water needs in a high-elevation setting.
