2018 Map of Buffalo Summit

About this map

The Desatoya Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the shared boundary of Churchill and Lander Counties. This part of Nevada is characterized by steep, dissected drainages and prominent peaks, including Buffalo Mtn and the namesake Buffalo Summit. Seasonal water is traced through the network of Buffalo Cr and Road Canyon Cr, which have carved significant features like Buffalo Canyon and Skull Canyon. The western portion of the quadrangle is defined by the East Gate Range, illustrating the typical basin-and-range topography. Surveyed sections are clearly delineated, showing the township and range divisions such as t16n r37e, which provide essential reference points for researchers tracing land history or natural resource locations in this sparsely populated interior.
