2014 Map of Warm Springs Summit

About this map

Warm Springs Summit serves as the central focal point of this high-altitude landscape, where the Hot Creek Range and the Kawich Range meet. The area is characterized by the wide drainage of Stone Cabin Valley, which dominates the western portion of the terrain. Water sources are scarce in this arid environment, making features like Milk Spring in the northeast and Black Rock Spring further south significant landmarks for understanding the natural hydrology and movement through the territory. A single primary artery, Road 6, provides the east-west passage over the summit, connecting these high-desert valleys. The map illustrates a sparse, open wilderness typical of the Great Basin, where topographic contours reveal the complex ridges and peaks of the surrounding ranges.
