2018 Map of Lake Valley Summit

About this map

Lake Valley Summit serves as the topographic anchor for this section of eastern Nevada, where the high desert floor meets the rising peaks of two distinct mountain chains. The map documents the western edge of Spring Valley and the vast Lake Valley floor, which are separated by prominent rises like Kirkeby Knoll and South Spring Point. This area is defined by its seasonal and perennial water sources, including South Spring and South Fox Spring, which provide critical points of interest for those tracking historical land use and travel routes through the Great Basin. Transportation through this remote terrain is mapped along modern corridors like White Pine Co Road 47 and S Highline Rd. The geography here transitions from the eastern slopes of the Schell Creek Range to the northern reaches of the Fortification Range, offering a clear view of the basin-and-range structures that shaped regional exploration and ranching.
