2021 Map of McIntyre Summit

About this map

The central highlands of the McIntyre Summit divide two distinct drainage basins in this high-desert portion of Nye County. The map details the transition between West Stone Cabin Valley and East Stone Cabin Valley, where seasonal watercourses like Willow Cr and Hot Cr define the hydrological landscape. These ephemeral streams are critical markers for understanding the historical movement of livestock and people through this arid terrain. Access to the higher elevations is provided by the Natl Forest Develop Road 402 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 006 Rd, which traverse the northern section toward White Rocks Canyon. The surveying grid of the Public Land Survey System remains the primary framework for land management in this sparsely populated region.
