2014 Map of Wells Summit

About this map

Spring Valley dominates the western half of this 2014 Lincoln County landscape, providing a wide, level expanse before the terrain rises sharply into the Limestone Hills. This transition from the valley floor to the high ridges is marked by a network of utilitarian backcountry routes, including the Limestone Cutoff Rd and Indian Spring Rd, which trace the base of the elevations. The eastern section of the map is defined by significant relief, where the Wells Summit pass serves as a key topographical point amidst the drainage of Hyde Wash and the steep descents of Daves Canyon. The map reveals a specialized landscape of resource access and remote passage, illustrated by numerous named tracks like Big Spring Rd and Horse Corral Rd that suggest long-standing ranching or backcountry utility in this part of eastern Nevada.
