2018 Map of Leppy Peak

About this map

West Wendover and Wendover anchor the southern edge of this survey, marking the distinct transition from the high basin terrain into the vast expanse of the Great Salt Lake Desert. The landscape is dominated by the Leppy Hills, a complex geological formation rising to the prominent summit of Leppy Peak. This high ground serves as a natural barrier between the modern settlements and the historical path of the CA Trl, which winds through the Pilot Creek Valley in the northwest. Local topography is further defined by landmarks such as Bears Claw and Wendover Peak, while smaller features like Leppy Reservoir and the drainage of Pilot Cr provide scarce water sources in this arid environment. The map captures the significant state boundary where Nevada meets Utah, a line that divides the twin communities and dictates the unique development of this high-desert gateway.
