2021 Map of Black Rock Summit

About this map

Black Rock Spring emerges at the southern edge of the high desert terrain in this section of Nye County, serving as a rare water source in a landscape defined by elevation extremes. The topography is dominated by the ridges of the Pancake Range, which stretches across the northern half of the survey area. To the east, the terrain descends into the Big Round Valley, while the southern corridor is marked by the prominence of Black Rock Summit and the distinct formation known as The Wall. The map reveals a high-altitude wilderness where the township and range grid lines of t9n r53e and t8n r54e overlay a nearly untouched natural environment, characteristic of the Great Basin's basin-and-range structure.
