2018 Map of Ferber Peak

About this map

Ferber Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-desert landscape, straddling the interstate boundary between Elko County, Nevada, and Tooele County, Utah. This survey captures a region defined by arid basins and drainage systems, where the ephemeral Ferber Wash cuts through the broad expanse of Ferber Flat. The topographic detail illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the Great Basin, transitioning from the higher elevations of the peak into the sunken profile of Box Canyon to the southeast. To the south, the terrain levels out into the wide reaches of White Sage Flat, a characteristic desert valley floor. The map serves as a precise record of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, documenting the intersection of multiple township and range lines across state borders in this sparsely settled frontier territory.
