2012 Map of Pequop Summit

About this map

Pequop Summit stands as the central landmark of this Elko County landscape, serving as a critical high-elevation pass for regional transit. The topography is defined by the drainage systems of the Squaw Creek network to the north, including the North Fork Squaw Creek and East Squaw Creek, while the southern reaches are marked by the seasonal flows of Sixmile Creek and Nanny Creek. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern intersection of infrastructure and natural hydrology, where the high-altitude route passes near numerous vital water sources such as Summit Spring and Adele Spring. Notable geological features like Maverick Canyon and Rocky Point punctuate the terrain, providing clear reference points for those tracking the historical transit routes and water-dependent landmarks of the northeastern Nevada desert.
