1990 Map of Summit Lake

About this map

The Summit Lake Indian Reservation anchors this high-desert landscape in northern Humboldt County. The land is marked by complex jurisdictional boundaries and ecological protections, including the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge to the north and the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout State Natural Area protecting the waters of Summit Lake and Mahogany Creek. Cultural history is preserved at the Camp McGarry (Historical Site) and the Summit Lake Cem, while remote transit is facilitated by the Summit Lake Landing Strip and numerous 4WD tracks. High-elevation features like the Black Rock Range and Rock Spring Table overlook the arid Fivemile Flat. Water sources, critical in this environment, are meticulously noted with labels for Fivemile Spring, Onemile Spring, and the Summit Lake Well.
