2018 Map of Pahroc Summit Pass

About this map

Pahroc Valley dominates the central landscape of this high-desert region in Lincoln County, bounded by the prominent Pahroc Range and South Pahroc Range. This 2018 survey reveals the sparse but critical water management infrastructure necessary for this arid environment, featuring several small catchments such as White Sage Reservoir, Knoll Pond Reservoir, and MacKay Reservoir. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the Delamar Valley, while the northern portion of the quadrangle is bisected by the primary transportation artery, Highway 93. The map's township and range divisions provide a clear framework for understanding the Public Land Survey System as it applies to this section of the Great Basin, reflecting a terrain defined by broad valleys and isolated mountainous outcroppings.
