2012 Map of Kalamazoo Summit

About this map

Kalamazoo Summit serves as the high-point anchor for this landscape in White Pine County, where high-altitude drainages define the movement of water across the Great Basin. The hydrology is remarkably complex for an arid region, featuring a network of seasonal and perennial flows including Fitzhugh Cr and its southern fork, alongside the branching headwaters of Kalamazoo Cr and Middle Cr. These water sources were vital for early ranching and transit, noted by the presence of Oil Springs and the evocatively named Ice Cream Springs.
