2011 Map of New York Peak

About this map

New York Peak towers over a landscape defined by isolated camps and critical water sources in this high-desert portion of the Black Rock Range. The presence of McCully Cabin and seasonal hubs like Cove Camp and Pearl Camp suggests a history of ranching or prospecting, where survival depended on a network of named water features including Josie Pearl Spring, Willow Spring, and Trough Spring. This 2011 survey captures the area’s rugged interior character, where landmarks such as Rodeo Flat and Cove Meadows provide the only level relief amidst the complex drainage systems of Corral Creek and Craine Creek. The southern boundary is marked by Bartlett Peak and the passage of Leonard Creek Rd, the primary route through this remote terrain. The naming of Trail Canyon and various family-named springs reflects the enduring legacy of early settlers and seasonal residents who navigated this challenging Nevada environment.
