2018 Map of Telegraph Peak

About this map

Telegraph Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Egan Range, serving as a central landmark for a network of springs and canyons in White Pine County. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems, including the long descent of Telegraph Canyon and Water Canyon. The distribution of water sources like Mustang Spring, Pipe Spring, and the curiously named April Fool Spring suggests a reliance on these scattered points for survival and ranching in the Great Basin. To the west, the terrain transitions into the broader expanse of Butte Valley. This survey captures the intricate network of canyons such as Boneyard Canyon and Log Canyon, which carve through the range, while high-elevation grazing areas like Frenchy Meadows indicate the seasonal use of this high desert environment.
