1970 Map of Wheatgrass Spring

About this map

The North Pahroc Range dominates this landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada, where the high desert terrain is defined by its vital water sources. In an arid environment where survival relied on the proximity of springs, this 1970 survey records several named outlets including Wheatgrass Spring, Pace Spring, and Rattlesnake Spring. A prominent Water Tank located near the center of the range suggests the area's utility for livestock or remote operations during this era. To the east, the basin of Dry Lake Valley spreads out from the base of the mountains, while the drainage of Wheatgrass Wash carves a path through the southern foothills. The map is networked with a series of Jeep Trails, indicating the limited but established access routes used by ranchers and land managers across this portion of the Great Basin.
