2018 Map of Meeker Peak

About this map

Meeker Peak rises as the prominent landmark of this high-desert terrain, anchoring the southern reaches of the Worthington Mountains. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and sparse water sources, where the vast Garden Valley spreads to the east. Modern mapping techniques by the U.S. Geological Survey detail the public land survey system grid, which organizes this part of Lincoln County into distinct townships. Historical travel routes are represented by Mail Summit Rd in the northeast corner, a corridor through the high basins. For those studying the hydrology of the Great Basin, the map identifies critical desert water points including Stink-Bug Spring, Modes Spring, and Rhodes Spring, which have long served as vital stops for both wildlife and travelers in this arid environment.
