2012 Map of Wells Summit

About this map

Limestone Hills and the geological prominence of Wells Summit define the terrain of this Lincoln County landscape. This 2012 survey documents a largely undeveloped corridor where transport is limited to unpaved routes like Atlanta Rd and Hyde Well Rd. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, cutting through areas such as Daves Canyon and crossing the intermittent drainage of Hyde Wash. The map reflects a moment in time where the high-desert environment remains primarily defined by its physical geography rather than human settlement, serving as a record of the remote interior of eastern Nevada before further modern changes to the backcountry infrastructure.
