2021 Map of Pancake Summit

About this map

Pancake Summit serves as the central focal point of this high-altitude landscape in White Pine County, where the topography of the Pancake Range transitions into the broad expanse of the Newark Valley. The geography is defined by significant elevation changes, with ridges and valleys aligned in the characteristic north-south orientation of the Great Basin. A rare water source, Sulphur Spring, is located on the eastern slopes, a vital landmark for both wildlife and travelers in this arid environment. The presence of White Pine Co Road 1 and other established routes highlights the historical and contemporary importance of this pass for crossing the interior basins of Nevada. This map provides a detailed view of the township and range boundaries, including t18n r56e, which organize the land management of this remote terrain.
