2014 Map of Parsnip Peak

About this map

Parsnip Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-desert landscape of eastern Nevada, where the drainage patterns of the Wilson Creek Range dictate the layout of the land. The area is defined by a complex network of ephemeral watercourses and vital spring points, such as Frenchman Spring and Sage Hen Spring, which have long served as essential resources in this arid environment. Ranching life is evident through access routes like Buckhorn Ranch Rd and Connors Ranch Rd, which navigate the terrain between deep incisions like Hulse Canyon and Tex Canyon. The map reveals how water travels across the desert floor via extensive systems like Bowling Wash and Parsnip Cr Wash, illustrating the geologic character of Lincoln County as it was documented in the early 21st century.
