2012 Map of Worthington Peak

About this map

Worthington Peak dominates the high desert terrain of the Worthington Mountains in this remote section of Lincoln County. The landscape is defined by its isolation, where transportation is funneled through the arid basin via Mail Summit Rd. A notable point of human history is the Freiburg Post Office, which serves as a solitary landmark of civic infrastructure in an otherwise sparsely populated environment. Water resources are critical but scarce in this region, marked by the presence of Barton Creek and the Cottonwood Reservoir. These features suggest a history of localized water management necessary for survival and transit in the Nevada desert.
