2018 Map of Sombrero Peak

About this map

Sombrero Peak rises at the southeastern corner of this map, overlooking the desert floor in Nevada's Humboldt County. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations, including the Slumbering Hills and isolated volcanic features like Gabica Butte and Corbeal Butte. The terrain is characterized by broad basins punctuated by these distinct uplands, with the Public Land Survey System grid overlaying sections within t39n r34e, t39n r35e, t38n r34e, and t38n r35e. Human infrastructure is sparse in this portion of the Great Basin, primarily limited to the passage of Sod House Rd along the western edge, suggesting a remote region used for grazing or mineral exploration rather than dense settlement.
