Wouldn't it make more sense to it by whether you drive the Mountain Loop to access the shortest route to the peaks? Seems more practical then doing it by "drainages," but then again I'm not a climber. Of course, it might come out to about the same thing.
Its pretty typical for outdoorsy, environmental studies type things to use drainages to define areas.. I took a Pacific Northwest History class taught by a self described "Environmental Historian" and some of Nevada (near Elko) was included because of how the land drains, and rivers flow...It makes sense, if you think about it, because big rivers and their tributaries were the first highways of the land, so people were connected to each other based on the drainages they occupied..
