2014 Map of Baldy Peak

About this map

Antelope Range and its prominent Baldy Peak anchor this topographical study of eastern White Pine County. The landscape is defined by the transition from the high, arid peaks down into the western reach of Spring Valley. Water is the primary marker of life in this high-desert environment, with seasonal drainage systems such as Spring Valley Cr and Middle Cr carving paths through the terrain. The presence of numerous isolated water sources, including Middle Creek Spring, North Spring, and Tap Spring, indicates the traditional points of survival for livestock and early travelers in this portion of the Great Basin. Deep incisions in the eastern slopes, like Cottonwood Canyon and Secret Canyon, reveal a complex drainage network that channels snowmelt from the higher elevations of the range. This 2014 edition captures the region's sparse infrastructure, dominated by the land-grid boundaries of the t24n r67e and surrounding townships.
