2021 Map of Pequop

About this map

The high-elevation terrain of the Pequop Mountains dominates this portion of Elko County, where the settlement of Pequop sits along a critical transportation corridor. This area reflects a classic Great Basin landscape where water sources are the primary indicators of human and animal activity across the arid stretches. The map identifies several vital water points, including Pequop Spring, Himmel Springs, Sheep Spring, and Baker Spring, which are often the focal points for local history and ranching operations. In the northern reaches, the drainage patterns of Deadman Cr and Toano Draw cut through the foothills. The prominent landmark of Rocky Point stands near the southern boundary, anchoring the topographic survey of this remote mountain range and its scattered springs.
