2012 Map of Baldy Peak

About this map

Baldy Peak and the high terrain of the Antelope Range define this high-altitude corner of White Pine County. The landscape is characterized by its vital water sources, as numerous springs are distributed across the arid slopes. Notable water points including Grassy Spring, Middle Creek Spring, North Spring, and Top Spring suggest the critical importance of reliable water for land management and livestock in this part of Nevada. Drainage patterns are established by several intermittent streams such as Spring Valley Creek, Middle Creek, and Sharp Creek, which flow through the basin and range topography. The map illustrates a remote environment where geographical names are almost exclusively tied to the physical landscape and the scarce hydrology essential for survival and navigation in the Great Basin.
