2021 Map of Carroll Summit

About this map

The Desatoya Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Lander and Churchill Counties. This survey highlights the topographic complexity of the Great Basin, where numerous ephemeral and perennial watercourses like Milkhouse Cr and Smith Cr drain the steep slopes toward the surrounding basins. A primary mountain pass is found at Carroll Summit, providing a critical transit point through the range between the high peaks and the lower Smith Creek Valley.
