2014 Map of White Pine Peak

About this map

White Pine Peak dominates the high elevation of the White Pine Range, anchoring a landscape within the Humboldt National Forest where sharp relief meets the broad expanse of Railroad Valley. This 2014 survey captures a network of vital water sources in a high-desert environment, ranging from the Manzonie Reservoir to the aptly named Angle Worm Spring. The hydrology of the area is defined by the drainage of Currant Cr and Kern Cr, which flow from the mountain slopes toward the valley floor. The map illustrates the characteristic basin and range topography of Nye County, documenting the intersections of National Forest land and public land systems during the early 21st century.
