2021 Map of Panaca Summit

About this map

Panaca Summit serves as the central landmark for this high-elevation landscape in eastern Nevada, where the drainage patterns of Gleason Canyon Wash and Kiln Wash define the complex topography. The map illustrates a reliance on critical water points in an arid environment, specifically Kiln Spring, Marchell Spring, and Dow Spring. Local transit is anchored by the presence of Crestline Rd, which winds through the southern terrain near Ninemile Rocks. This area, situated between the High Plateau and Great Basin desert, shows a topography carved by features like Lien Draw and the prominent Dow Mtn. The survey highlights the spatial relationship between isolated water sources and the natural corridors used for movement through the Lincoln County backcountry.
