2021 Map of Hancock Summit

About this map

Pahranagat Valley and its surrounding mountain chains dominate this 2021 landscape in Lincoln County. The topographic survey documents the high-desert transition from the valley floor into the steep elevations of the Mount Irish Range and the East Pahranagat Range. These North American Vertical Datum of 1988 measurements clarify the complex drainage patterns and relief across a terrain defined by basin-and-range geology. While the valley itself supports agricultural and transit corridors, the eastern and southern edges are defined by the sharp rise of the Pahranagat Range. Water sources are few in this arid environment, making individual features like Cow Camp Spring significant for livestock and local land use within the t6s r59e and adjacent township blocks.
