1985 Map of Worthington Peak SW

About this map

Sand Spring Valley dominates this mid-1980s landscape, presenting a wide alluvial basin defined by drainage patterns and sparse pastoral improvements. The ephemeral Davis Creek flows through the central flats, a critical water resource for livestock in this arid Lincoln County interior. Small markers of human activity appear along the valley margins, including a Corral and WT (water tank), reflecting the region's enduring reliance on range land and isolated springs like Rose Spring. The map's contour lines illustrate the transition from the relatively flat valley floor toward the steep, unnamed slopes that border it. This provisional survey captures the geography of the high desert before significant modern infrastructure developments, preserving the locations of remote water sources and cattle facilities that are essential for tracing local land use and ranching history in the late twentieth century.
