Telegraph Peak is an 8,537-foot mountain summit in Lander County, Nevada. Its significance lies in its name, which recalls the first transcontinental telegraph and the line that connected the country by wire across the American West. Identified simply as a summit, it preserves the memory of a communications milestone that helped link distant parts of the nation.
