2023 Map of Pequop Summit SW

About this map

Independence Valley dominates this high-altitude basin, where the landscape transitions from open flats to the rising slopes of the Pequop Mountains in the east. Hydrological patterns are defined by several drainage systems, including Independence Creek, West Pequop Creek, and Barner Springs Creek, which collect runoff from the surrounding peaks. The area is characterized by its isolation and the stark contrast between the valley floor and the steep terrain of Maverick Canyon. Transportation through this corner of Nevada is funneled through major corridors, specifically the Interstate 80 and Alt 93 junction. This modern topographic record traces the precise township and range boundaries, such as t37n r64e and t36n r65e, which organize the vast public and private land parcels of the Great Basin.
