2014 Map of Pancake Summit SW

About this map

Pancake Range dominates this portion of White Pine County, showing the intricate topography of the Great Basin in the early twenty-first century. The landscape is defined by the high, ridged terrain of the range, which gives way on its eastern flank to the broader expanse of the Newark Valley. This area is sparsely developed, with human activity primarily represented by the presence of CR-1, a local connector that skirts the eastern edge of the mountains. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, marking the boundaries between t17n r55e, t17n r56e, and the townships to the south. The contour intervals illustrate the significant elevation changes that characterize this interior Nevada basin-and-range environment, where the relationship between high desert mountains and dry valley floors is clearly delineated.
