2018 Map of Worthington Peak SW

About this map

Sand Spring Valley occupies the southwestern portion of this Lincoln County survey, illustrating the high-altitude desert topography of the Great Basin. The arid landscape is defined by its intermittent water sources, where small developments like Apple Reservoir and the ephemeral Hecker Dry Lake serve as critical landmarks. Steep terrain rises sharply toward the eastern and northern edges of the quadrangle, with elevation contours delineating the transition from the valley floor to higher peaks. The distribution of named springs, including Rose Spring, Shadow Spring, and the descriptively named Stinking Spring, highlights the sparse but vital hydrography that guided movement and land use in this part of Nevada. The map also records the precise grid of the Public Land Survey System, spanning township boundaries from t1s r55e to t2s r57e.
