About this map

Boundary Peak and Montgomery Peak dominate this high-elevation landscape within the White Mountains along the Nevada-California border. This survey provides a detailed view of the drainage systems and peaks that define the Great Basin's western edge, including the expansive Pellisier Flats and the steep drop-offs at The Jumpoff. The map documents the high-country hydrology through the headwaters of Chiatovich Cr and Davis Cr, showing how water moves from these alpine summits toward the valleys below.

While largely a study of natural topography and wilderness access, the map records industrial history at the Red Rock Mine in the northeastern corner. Hikers and researchers can trace established routes from the Boundary Peak Trailhead through Trail Canyon to Trail Canyon Saddle, capturing the intersection of recreational access and the region's mining heritage as it stood in the early twenty-first century.
