1968 Map of Brown Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Pancake Range dominates this central Nevada terrain, standing as a high ridge between the Big Sand Springs Valley to the west and Duckwater Valley to the east. This late 1960s survey documents a landscape defined by isolation and essential water sources, centered on the Brown Summit pass. Small signs of human occupancy and livestock management appear in the form of the Florio Outrider Cabin and the Brown Summit Truck Trail, which provided rugged access through these mountains. Vital water points such as Young Florio Spring and McClure Spring are carefully noted, anchoring the local geography for ranchers and travelers. The mapping of Moody Mountain and various benchmark locations highlights the survey's focus on precise topographic control in a region where land lines had not yet been established.
