2018 Map of Hancock Summit

About this map

The Mount Irish Range and East Pahranagat Range dominate this desert landscape in Lincoln County. This 2018 survey details the high-altitude topography of the region, anchored by the prominent Hancock Summit where the terrain descends into the Pahranagat Valley. Human activity in this arid environment is historically tied to reliable water sources, represented here by the isolated Cow Camp Spring located north of the peaks. The map provides a clear look at the township and range survey lines, including t6s r59e and t5s r60e, which define the land divisions across the Pahranagat Range. It serves as a modern record of a largely undeveloped portion of the Great Basin, where elevation and hydrology have long dictated passage and land use.
