2018 Map of Black Rock Summit

About this map

Black Rock Summit stands as a prominent high point in this high-desert landscape of central Nevada, where the southern reaches of the Pancake Range meet the northern edge of the Reveille Valley. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain defined by stark elevation changes and essential water sources, most notably at Black Rock Spring. The map documents the intricate township and range grid system across eastern Nye County, tracing the boundaries of T9N, T8N, and T7N. A long-standing local route known as The Wall skirts the base of the summit, providing transit through the foothills while the broad expanse of Big Round Valley opens to the east. The sparse distribution of named features underscores the isolation and topographical focus of this Great Basin environment.
