2011 Map of Lee Peak

About this map

Lee Peak and the surrounding high desert of Pershing County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and mountain passes. In this arid landscape, water sources like Yellowstone Spring, Rawhide Spring, and Mud Springs served as critical landmarks for movement through the Great Basin. Access to these elevations is facilitated by primitive routes such as Spaulding Canyon Rd and Klondike Canyon Rd, which navigate the steep transition through Klondike Pass. The area is carved by several major landforms, including the deep cuts of Lee Canyon, Spaulding Canyon, and Rockhill Canyon. To the southeast, the terrain levels out at Table Mountain, providing a stark contrast to the drainages of Lees Creek and Marble Creek that draw away from the central peaks.
