This remote peak is set in the Basin and Range National Monument on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. It is situated in the Worthington Mountains Wilderness,  south of Worthington Peak,  north of Las Vegas, and northeast of Nellis Air Force Base Complex.

This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. Climate
Meeker Peak is set in the Great Basin Desert which has hot summers and cold winters. The desert is an example of a cold desert climate as the desert's elevation makes temperatures cooler than lower elevation deserts. Due to the high elevation and aridity, temperatures drop sharply after sunset. Summer nights are comfortably cool. Winter highs are generally above freezing, and winter nights are bitterly cold, with temperatures often dropping well below freezing. Gallery
