2014 Map of Worthington Peak SW

About this map

Sand Spring Valley occupies the heart of this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, where the topography transitions from the low flat of Hecker Dry Lake toward the rising slopes of the Worthington range. This 2014 survey documents a network of remote access roads that define human movement across the arid basin, including Mcclutchen Rd and Wild Horse Spring Rd. For local history researchers, these routes trace the essential connections between reliable water sources like Rose Spring, Shadow Spring, and Stinking Spring. The presence of the Apple Reservoir in the southern portion of the valley suggests the continued importance of water management in an environment where natural springs dictate the geography of land use and livestock movement.
