2021 Map of East of Pancake Summit

About this map

Newark Valley dominates the western portion of this Great Basin landscape, a wide alluvial expanse defined by the towering White Pine Range to the east. This 2021 survey shows a sparsely populated area where water is the primary arbiter of life, marked by the presence of White Hill Spring at the base of the northern foothills. The terrain rises sharply from the valley floor toward Antelope Mtn, illustrating the classic basin-and-range topography characteristic of this part of White Pine County. Modern transit through this high-desert environment is represented by the route of Highway 50, which cuts across the central townships. The inclusion of White Pine Co Road 5 indicates the essential secondary corridors used by local ranchers and travelers to navigate the vast distances between established settlements.
