1969 Map of Wildcat Wash SW

About this map

Desert National Wildlife Range dominates the western half of this 1969 field-checked landscape, where the high ridges of the Desert Range and the Arrow Canyon Range frame a wide desert basin. The transition from the rugged slopes of Elbow Canyon to the broad expanse of Coyote Spring Valley reveals a system of ephemeral drainages, most notably Pahranagat Wash and Wildcat Wash, which define the local hydrology. Human activity is sparse but evident through industrial and transport infrastructure. A Sawmill Road and various Jeep Trails thread through the valley, while isolated features like a Dry Well and a Gravel Pit suggest localized resource extraction. The northern boundary of the map marks the divide between Lincoln and Clark counties, cutting across the arid flatlands near the uniquely named Starvation Flat.
