2011 Map of Summer Lake

About this map

The settlement of Summer Lake and its surrounding high-desert wetlands are mapped here in the early 21st century. This region of Lake County is defined by the significant management of water, visible through features like the Summer Lake I D Canal, Bullgate Dike, and the extensive Summer Lake Game Mgt Area. Local infrastructure is concentrated along the highway, including the Summer Lake Post Office and the Summer Lake Safety Rest Area, while the Summer Lake Cemetery serves as a vital point of reference for genealogists. The landscape rises sharply to the west toward Dead Indian Rim and Dead Indian Mountain, providing a stark contrast to the scattered water bodies of the basin such as Ana Reservoir, Dutchy Lake, and Jacks Lakes. The inclusion of the Ponderosa Paraglide Launch Area reflects modern recreational uses of these prominent ridges.
