2014 Map of Desatoya Peak

About this map

Desatoya Peak and the high ridges of the Desatoya Mountains define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Churchill and Lander counties. The settlement of Eastgate sits at the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point where Eastgate Wash meets the rising terrain. This survey illustrates the complex drainage systems of the Great Basin, where seasonal water sources like Rock Spring, Big Den Spring, and Dry Canyon Spring were critical for early travel and livestock.
