2018 Map of Robinson Summit

About this map

Robinson Summit serves as the namesake for this high-elevation landscape in White Pine County, where the topography of the Egan Range is defined by a dense network of seasonal water sources. The importance of groundwater in this arid region is evident by the dozens of named springs, including Schoolhouse Spring, Jamestown Spring, and Summit Springs, which likely supported early ranching or travel through the mountain passes. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous drainages such as Bradley Canyon and Sage Hen Canyon, while Piscevich Summit marks a significant high point on the eastern side of the sheet. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Gleason Creek Rd and various county roads, though the underlying settlement pattern remains tied to the historical reliance on isolated water points like Buffalo Spring and Grassy Spring.
