2015 Map of Moor Summit

About this map

Moor sits at a critical high point in the high desert of Elko County, where the Interstate 80 corridor navigates the gap between the Windermere Hills and the Wood Hills. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern transportation infrastructure following the historic path over Moor Summit, a vital pass for transcontinental travel. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, rising from Independence Valley up toward the peak of Little Cedar Mtn. Water remains a sparse but essential feature in this arid environment, marked by the presence of Independence Springs and Wadel Spring. Local access is provided by a network of rural routes such as Wadel Spring Way and Moor Rd, which service the ranching and mountainous terrain surrounding Cedar Pass.
