2018 Map of Brown Summit NW

About this map

Pancake Range peaks dominate the northeastern corner of this 2018 survey, including the heights of Moody Mtn. This high-desert landscape in Nye County is defined by its drainage patterns and isolated water sources, most notably the Sand Springs Wash which cuts through the central terrain toward the Big Sand Springs Valley. A rare permanent water feature in this arid environment is the Brown Summit Reservoir located in the southeast. This map captures the modern Public Land Survey System divisions across five townships, illustrating how these administrative lines overlay the natural contours of the Great Basin. Small, localized features like Horse Spring highlight the critical points of historical and contemporary survival for travelers and ranchers in this part of Nevada.
