Tonkin Summit marks a high point in this remote section of Eureka County, where the southern reaches of the Simpson Park Mountains transition into the broad Denay Valley. This terrain is defined by a critical network of springs and canyons essential for ranching and wildlife in the Great Basin. Water sources like Indian Spring, Tonkin Spring, and Black Spring are scattered across the high desert landscape, suggesting the historical importance of reliable water for travel and stock through the mountains.
