About this map

Lake Valley Summit and the surrounding high desert of White Pine County are captured in this 2021 topographic study, which documents the topographical transition between two prominent ranges. The landscape is defined by the Schell Creek Range to the northwest and the Fortification Range to the southeast, separated by the broad expanses of Lake Valley and Spring Valley. This high-altitude corridor has long served as a natural passage for travelers moving between basins.

Water is a critical but sparse feature in this arid environment, marked here by isolated points such as South Spring, South Spring Point, and South Fox Spring. The map traces modern transit routes, including U.S. Route 93 and local connectors like S Highline Rd and White Pine Co Road 47, alongside the prominent Kirkeby Knoll. This survey is an essential resource for understanding the contemporary geography and hydrological points of this remote Nevada interior.
