1968 Map of Pequop Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Pequop Summit sits at the center of this 1960s survey, marking a vital high-elevation pass through the Pequop Mountains of Elko County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous seasonal drainages, including West Squaw Creek and East Squaw Creek, which radiate from the central ridge. Navigation across this high-desert terrain relied on a network of primitive infrastructure, including an Airway Beacon and multiple Radio Facilities stationed along the peaks. The scarcity of water is evident through the naming of isolated points like Milk House Spring, Adele Spring, and Wally Spring, which likely served as critical stops for travelers and livestock. To the southwest, Maverick Canyon and Maverick Lane suggest the area's history of ranching and movement through the high basins before modern highway developments shifted the flow of traffic.
