2011 Map of Pyramid SE

About this map

Pyramid Lake dominates this 2011 survey, covering nearly the entire expanse of the quadrangle. The map focuses on the eastern shoreline and the deep waters of this iconic Nevada desert terminal lake. To the northeast, the terrain rises sharply from the water's edge at Howitzer Slide, a notable geological feature that underscores the steep topography of the Lake Range. Further south along the eastern bank, Blizzard Camp Point reaches into the water, providing a specific geographic anchor for those studying the shoreline's contours or local landforms in Washoe County. The lack of roads or settlements within these bounds highlights the undisturbed character of the landscape at the start of the decade.
