About this map

The Egan Range dominates this portion of White Pine County, where high-altitude geography dictates the location of early ranching outposts and a network of named water sources. Significant landmarks such as Robinson Summit and Piscevich Summit provide natural passage through the high country, while Copper Flat in the south points to the area's geological and mining interests. Isolated ranching operations, including Robison Ranch and Miller Ranch, appear as critical nodes along the primitive road network defined by Gleason Creek Rd and White Pine Co Rd.

The landscape is exceptionally rich in natural springs, suggesting a reliance on these features for livestock and settlement in an otherwise arid environment. From Schoolhouse Spring to Jamestown Spring and New York Spring, these named water points are essential for genealogists or historians tracing the movement of family ranching operations throughout the high basins. The map also delineates drainage patterns through Bothwick Creek and rugged depressions like Rock Spring Canyon.
