About this map

Lee Peak and the high ridges of the East Range dominate this interior Nevada landscape, where water sources are critical markers in an arid environment. Named springs including Yellowstone Spring, Rawhide Spring, and Mud Springs suggest the historical reliance on these scarce points for ranching and travel through the Great Basin. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous canyons, such as Rockhill Canyon, Spaulding Canyon, and Klondike Canyon, which provide natural corridors through the mountains.

Transportation is defined by a sparse network of dirt roads like Willow Creek Ranch Rd and Spaulding Canyon Rd, which connect remote sections of the Pershing County interior. Elevations transition through Klondike Pass toward the southern boundary, where the prominent Table Mtn rises. This survey documents the persistent character of this region, where ephemeral drainages like Lees Cr and Marble Cr illustrate the drainage patterns of the high desert peaks.
