About this map

Summit Lake Indian Reservation and the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge define this northern Nevada landscape, where the waters of Summit Lake are fed by drainage from Mahogany Creek and Snow Creek. This 1990 provisional map documents a remote high-desert environment where historical human imprints intersect with conservation areas. In the eastern portion of the sheet, the Camp McGarry (Historical Site) marks a 19th-century military outpost, situated near the Summit Lake Cem.

Transport and land use patterns are shaped by the terrain, from the broad expanse of Fivemile Flat to the steep elevations of the Black Rock Range. The map highlights specialized environmental designations like the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout State Natural Area, while smaller features like Fivemile Spring, Parman Reservoir, and the Summit Lake Landing Strip provide essential navigation points across the high plateaus and canyons.
