About this map

Pequop Summit serves as a critical high-elevation passage through the Pequop Mountains in Elko County, Nevada. This topographic survey illustrates a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and the essential water sources required for travel and ranching in the Great Basin. The drainage network is particularly well-documented, showing the emergence of North Fork East Pequop Creek, West Pequop Creek, and Nanny Creek from the mountain flanks.

Strategic water points like Wally Spring, Summit Spring, and Milk House Spring are noted along the terrain, reflecting the historical importance of reliable water for those traversing the canyons. The map clearly delineates the complex topography of Maverick Canyon and its South Fork Maverick Canyon, providing a detailed view of the rugged corridors that have long dictated movement through this part of the Nevada interior.
