2018 Map of Moor Summit

About this map

Moor sits as a lonely point of reference along the high-desert corridor of northeastern Nevada. This topographic study reveals the stark transition from the open expanse of Independence Valley to the elevated terrain of Moor Summit. The map documents a critical transportation artery cutting through the landscape via Cedar Pass, where Interstate 80 and the railroad share a narrow route between the Windermere Hills to the north and the expansive Wood Hills to the south. Local water sources like Independence Springs provide a glimpse into the hydrology of this arid region. The road network, including Woodhills Ln and Moore Rd, traces the lower slopes of the surrounding heights, while Little Cedar Mtn stands as a prominent landmark in the southwestern quadrant, illustrating the isolated peaks characteristic of this Basin and Range territory.
