2014 Map of Pyramid SE

About this map

Pyramid Lake dominates this 2014 survey, covering nearly the entire expanse of the map with its deep desert waters. Located in Washoe County, Nevada, the western shore remains largely open water, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle meets the steep, rising terrain of the Lake Range. This narrow strip of land reveals distinctive geological and topographical markers such as Howitzer Slide and Blizzard Camp Point. The map illustrates the stark contrast between the vast hydraulic basin and the sharp verticality of the surrounding Great Basin ranges, where the shoreline is the primary point of transition.
