2018 Map of Summit Lake

About this map

Summit Lake serves as the central focal point of this high-desert landscape in Humboldt County, where drainage systems like Mahogany Cr and Snow Cr feed into the basin. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, from the level expanse of Fivemile Flat to the surrounding heights of the Black Rock Range and Summit Lake Mtn. For genealogists and local historians, the Summit Lake Cem near the eastern shore provides a specific point of interest in this sparsely populated region. The presence of the Parnian Reservoir and the Wild Horse Pasture reflects the area's agricultural and grazing history. Access across this varied topography is provided by the Soldier Meadows Rd and Summit Lake Rd, which connect the remote basin to the broader northern Nevada range territory.
