2018 Map of Petes Summit

About this map

The Toquima Range dominates this high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of Lander and Nye Counties meet. This area, largely within the Toiyabe National Forest, is defined by a network of seasonal springs and deep canyons that supported early mining and range activities. The presence of the Bronco Mine near Big Smoky Valley indicates the region's historical mineral interests, while the Stoneberger Basin provides a natural catchment in the southern portion of the sheet. Remote access is facilitated by the Petes Summit Road and various rugged tracks like the Muggs Motortrail, which navigate the steep terrain between Petes Summit and Clipper Gap. Named water sources such as Sage Hen Spring and Turquoise Spring serve as vital landmarks in this arid environment.
