1987 Map of White Blotch Springs NE

About this map

Sand Spring Valley dominates this 1980s landscape in Lincoln County, Nevada, where the desert floor is punctuated by the infrastructure of isolated ranching and resource extraction. The presence of Penoyer Farms in the south-central portion of the quadrangle suggests the specialized agricultural activity common in high-desert basins. This basin environment is further defined by essential water sources like Sand Spring and various scattered wells that served the area's inhabitants and livestock. A Landing Strip located near the farms highlights the necessity of aerial transport in these wide-open spaces of the Great Basin. The map provides a clear record of land division and elevation benchmarks across this arid terrain, showing the surveyed township and range lines that structured settlement in the region.
