Boundary Peak is at the Northern end of the White Mountains and would not be climbed much except for the fact it is the highest point in Nevada, although it is not the highest peak in the area.
Boundary Peak derives its name from the proximity to the boundary between the two states that runs down the saddle between the two peaks and was likely named by surveyors who were working in the West in the mid 1800s.
Most people who climb this peak are doing so trying to gain another in their quest to gain the high point in as many states as possible.

 Boundary Peak, Kennebago Divide, Whitecap, Snow
On the return Monument Peak is again climbed, and a heading taken that will lead towards the old logging road left earlier before the ascent in the White Cap/Kennebago Divide col. On Day Two a second ascent is made in to the col and Kennebago Divide is climbed.
To climb Boundary we’d drive past the White Cap trailhead, walk up the road past the boundary swath to find an old road which would loop around to the right to regain the swath, and follow the swath to Boundary, returning the same way.
As others have noted, the section of the boundary swath is a shooting gallery for hunters who bait moose with salt licks and use trees stands, and the swath has many of these stands.
