2021 Map of Summit Lake

About this map

Summit Lake dominates the southern portion of this high-desert landscape in northern Humboldt County. The surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the open expanse of Fivemile Flat up to the heights of Summit Lake Mtn and the Black Rock Range. Hydrology in this arid environment is centered on critical water sources like Parman Reservoir, Perry Spring, and Onemile Spring, which are essential markers for land use in the Great Basin. The presence of the Summit Lake Cem indicates the area's long-standing connection to local communities, while Summit Lake Rd and Soldier Meadows Rd provide the primary transit corridors through the complex topography of Tollhouse Canyon and across the Rock Spring Table. This survey captures the remote character of the region as it was documented in 2021.
