2012 Map of Black Rock Summit

About this map

Black Rock Summit rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of Nye County, where the terrain is defined by dry valleys and seasonal water sources. The map documents a sparsely settled landscape at the start of the 2010s, centered on the intersection of the vast Big Round Valley and the surrounding highlands. A critical water source in this arid environment, Black Rock Spring, is noted near the southern boundary, sitting adjacent to a local road that provides one of the few transit corridors through the area. This topographic record serves as a precise baseline for the region's hydrography and elevation before further modern development or environmental shifts altered the high-desert floor.
