2018 Map of Lee Peak

About this map

Lee Peak and the high ridges of the East Range dominate this Nevada landscape, where water sources were the vital anchor for early travelers and ranchers. Scant but critical water points such as Yellowstone Spring, Rawhide Spring, and Mud Springs define the geography of this arid terrain. A network of unimproved roads follows the natural breaks in the topography, including Spaulding Canyon Rd and Klondike Canyon Rd, providing access through the steep drainages. The map reveals the dramatic transition from deep cuts like Highrock Canyon and Rockhill Canyon to the elevated plateau of Table Mtn. These named features trace the routes of those who navigated the high desert before modern improvements, marking the essential passes like Klondike Pass that connected the remote basins of Pershing County.
