1968 Map of Summit Station

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Little Smoky Valley dominates this high-altitude landscape of central Nevada, where the drainage of Big Wash and the contours of Andesite Ridge define the desert terrain. This 1968 field survey, conducted in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, captures the remote character of the border between Nevada and Nye counties during a period of significant geological and nuclear-related research in the region. The map highlights the historical footprint of Summit Station (Site), a former stop in an area once vital for trans-Nevada travel. Steep elevations rise from the valley floor toward the west, carved by features like Twin Piñon Gulch. The scarcity of named settlements underscores the isolated nature of this high-desert basin during the late 1960s.
