1983 Map of Hancock Summit

About this map

Hancock Summit provides the namesake high point for this 1983 topographic study of the Pahranagat Range in eastern Nevada. The landscape is defined by high-desert terrain where infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to a Single Pole Wooden Powerline traversing the northern flats and a Borrow Pit indicating local excavation activity. A Gaging Station located near the northern edge suggests the monitoring of intermittent water flow in an otherwise arid environment. This provisional map captures the transition between the valley floor and the ascending mountain slopes, marking the historical footprint of the Ash Springs 1848 S cadastral survey point, an essential marker for early land management in Lincoln County.
