1990 Map of Pancake Summit SW

About this map

Pancake Range peaks dominate the western half of this Nevada landscape, transitioning into the broad, high-desert expanse of Newark Valley to the east. This 1990 provisional map records the region's character through intricate contouring and township boundaries, reflecting the remote nature of White Pine County. Human activity is sparse but notable, evidenced by a singular Prospect located on the eastern slopes of the range. This mark indicates small-scale mineral exploration typical of the Great Basin’s geological history. The alignment of the township lines, such as the border between T 17 N and T 16 N, provides a formal structure to this largely open terrain, highlighting the intersection of public land surveying and the physical geography of the high desert.
