2021 Map of Ninemile Summit

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Ninemile Summit and the high peaks of the Bilk Creek Mountains anchor this arid landscape in northern Nevada. The terrain is defined by a series of critical water sources that reflect the region's ranching and migratory heritage, including Basque Spring and Basque Basin, likely named for the sheepherders who once traversed these highlands. The eastern edge of the map descends into the Kings River Valley, while the western portion is dominated by the broad plateau of Table Mtn. A network of vital springs, such as Cherry Hill Spring, Dacite Spring, and Ninemile Springs, provides life-sustaining water in a territory otherwise marked by seasonal drainages like Bilk Cr. The presence of Ninemile Rd suggests the primary route through this high-desert pass, connecting remote basins across the Humboldt County wilderness.
