About this map

Robinson Summit and the high elevations of the Egan Range define this high-altitude landscape in White Pine County. The area is characterized by a high density of named water sources that supported early activity in the high desert, including Schoolhouse Spring, Jamestown Spring, and Camptender Spring. These water points are scattered throughout dramatic landforms like Sage Hen Canyon and Bradley Canyon.

Drainage systems such as Gleason Creek provide a natural orientation through the terrain, while modern recreation is marked by the Egan Crest Trail A Trl. The map documents a rugged interior of Nevada where transit is funneled through passes like Piscevich Summit. The naming conventions of the springs—referencing schoolhouses, camptenders, and specific individuals—suggest a history of localized settlement and resource management in this arid mountain environment.
