2018 Map of Dicalite Summit

About this map

Dicalite Summit rises above the high desert floor where the Cedar Mountains and Pilot Mountains meet in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the broad expanse of the Monte Cristo Valley, a characteristic Great Basin landform that stretches across the central portion of the sheet. Evidence of human movement and utility is sparse in this arid environment, marked primarily by the utilitarian Dump Rd and the vital presence of Tree Spring on the western slopes. The map also delineates the high-altitude boundary between Mineral and Esmeralda counties, illustrating how political borders were drawn across this remote terrain. This record provides a clear view of the topography and drainage patterns at the intersection of several township and range grids, serving as a modern reference for the natural geography of the region.
