2018 Map of Currant Summit

About this map

The White Pine Range and Horse Range dominate the high-altitude topography of this 2018 survey, centered on the divide between Nye and White Pine counties. This part of the Great Basin is characterized by internal drainage and intermittent water sources, evidenced by names like Secret Spring, Hidden Spring, and Summit Spring. Human activity is primarily oriented toward resource management and navigation through the peaks. Significant landmarks include Currant Summit and Wilhoites Peak, while the northern portion of the quadrangle is occupied by the Humboldt National Forest. In the west, the Manzonie Reservoir collects the waters of Currant Cr. Remote access is facilitated by the Gold Mine Trail and service routes such as Radio Towers Rd, highlighting the region's sparse infrastructure and focus on mining and communications.
