About this map

Lake Valley Summit anchors this high-elevation landscape in White Pine County, where the high desert terrain is defined by isolated water sources and long-distance travel routes. This 2012 survey shows a sparse but functional network of infrastructure, centered around the S Highline Rd and Co Rd 47 corridors. Such routes have historically been vital for connecting remote ranching operations and public lands across the Great Basin.

Topographical landmarks like Kirkeby Knoll and South Spring Point provide orientation across the sagebrush-covered slopes. The presence of South Fox Spring and South Spring indicates the critical importance of reliable water in this arid environment, marking locations that have likely served travelers and local livestock for generations. This map documents the essential geography of eastern Nevada's basin and range province.
