2014 Map of Summer Camp

About this map

The Snake Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Elko County, defined by steep relief and a complex network of seasonal drainage. Elevated features like Antelope Peak and Summer Camp Ridge provide significant vantage points over the surrounding basins, including the broad Thousand Springs Valley. The map reveals a land managed for its scarce water resources, centered on the Bishop Cr Reservoir in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local hydrology is further marked by Trough Canyon Spring and the winding paths of Thousand Springs Cr and Johnson Cr. The namesake settlement of Summer Camp sits at the eastern edge of the mountains, representing the sparse but resilient human footprint in this corner of the Great Basin. From the depths of Finks Canyon to the expanse of Bishop Flats, the topography indicates a region utilized for ranching and resource management.
