2014 Map of Wheatgrass Spring

About this map

The North Pahroc Range and the Pahroc Range dominate the topography of this Lincoln County survey, providing a detailed look at the arid water sources essential for survival and navigation in the high desert. A network of isolated springs, including Wheatgrass Spring, Rattlesnake Spring, and Mustang Spring, are meticulously mapped alongside seasonal drainages like Wheatgrass Wash. These natural features dictated the early paths through the landscape, now represented by rudimentary routes such as Rattlesnake Spring Rd and White River Rd. The transition from the steep ranges into the flat expanse of Dry Lake Valley illustrates the classic Basin and Range geography of southeastern Nevada. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for remote landmarks like Rock Spring, Red Rock Spring, and Pace Spring, which have long served as vital points of reference in this sparsely settled region.
