2014 Map of Marking Corral Summit

About this map

Butte Mountains topography and high-desert drainage patterns define this portion of White Pine County, where the landscape transitions into the broad expanse of Jakes Valley. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, notably at Marking Corral Summit, a key point for navigating the high ridges. Water sources are scarce but critical in this arid environment, represented by Summit Spring and the seasonal flow of Illipah Cr. The human footprint here is primarily defined by a network of rural routes, including Jakes Wash Rd and Bothwick Rd, which follow the natural contours of the basins. This map illustrates the remote ranching and grazing infrastructure of eastern Nevada, where named springs and mountain passes serve as the primary landmarks for navigation and land management.
