About this map

Meadow Valley Mountains and the Coyote Spring Valley dominate this late-1960s landscape along the Indefinite Boundary between Lincoln and Clark counties. The terrain is defined by a series of ephemeral watercourses including Wildcat Wash, Dead Man Wash, and McKay Wash, which carve through the high desert floor toward landmarks like Table Mountain and Dead Man Hill.

Evidence of human activity is sparse but specific, marked by a network of Jeep Trails that provided access for mineral exploration and surveying. Small-scale resource extraction is visible through scattered Borrow Pits and a lone Prospect located near the Bunker Hills. This survey captures the region just before modern developments, showing the primitive transportation routes used to navigate the washes and peaks of the Nevada desert.
