2018 Map of Marking Corral Summit

About this map

Marking Corral Summit stands as a prominent high point between the Butte Mountains and the northern reaches of Jakes Valley in this remote section of White Pine County. The landscape is defined by its arid drainage patterns and an established network of primitive roads that connect isolated points across the high desert terrain. Water is a scarce and vital resource here, marked by the presence of Summit Spring and the drainage of Illipah Cr at the southern edge of the survey. The infrastructure is primarily composed of county thoroughfares and access routes such as Thirtymile Rd and Jakes Wash Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors and mountain passes. This survey provides a precise look at the topographical relationship between the varying elevations of the Butte Mountains and the vast basin of Jakes Valley before the modernization of rural transport.
