2014 Map of State Line Peak

About this map

The high desert terrain of the California and Nevada border is defined by the prominent peaks and arid basins of Washoe Co and Lassen Co. Central to this landscape are the Virginia Mountains and the State Line Mountains, which rise sharply above the southern reaches of the Honey Lake Valley. Notable summits such as Ft Sage Peak, Vinegar Peak, and the distinctively named Sugarloaf provide orientation across this expanse of public and private lands. The scarcity of water is reflected in the distribution of intermittent sources, including Fish Springs, Coyote Spring, and Sheep Springs, while Newcome Lake sits in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Transport and access are limited to a sparse network of ranch and valley roads, most notably Winnemucca Ranch Rd and Fish Springs Rd, which skirt the bases of canyons like Rock Springs Canyon and Anderson Canyon.
