2018 Map of Wells Summit

About this map

Spring Valley dominates the western half of this Lincoln County landscape, showing a broad alluvial expanse that contrasts sharply with the verticality of the Limestone Hills to the east. The geography is defined by significant drainage and transit features, including the eponymous Wells Summit and the carved path of Daves Canyon. This area of eastern Nevada serves as a textbook example of Basin and Range morphology, where the flat valley floor meets the steep, north-south trending ridges. Small intermittent water features like Hyde Wash illustrate the arid hydrology of the region. The map preserves the township and range grid system across several sections, including t9n r68e and t8n r69e, providing a clear record of land division in this part of the state during the early 21st century.
