2014 Map of Brown Summit NW

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Pancake Range dominates this portion of Nye County, where the elevation reaches a peak at Moody Mtn. This landscape is defined by the stark drainage patterns of the Big Sand Springs Valley, with the prominent Sand Springs Wash cutting a path through the arid basin. Water sources are sparse but critical in this region, notably marked by the presence of Horse Spring in the northwestern heights and the Brown Summit Reservoir situated in the lower southeast. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, showing the junction of townships t13n r53e, t13n r54e, t12n r53e, and t12n r54e. These grid lines underscore the systematic organization of the Nevada backcountry, tracing the relationship between the elevated mountain ridges and the expansive valley floor.
