2021 Map of Warm Springs Summit

About this map

Warm Springs Summit serves as a critical geographic transition point in this high-desert landscape, where the southern reaches of the Hot Creek Range meet the northern edge of the Kawich Range. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Stone Cabin Valley to the west, a region defined by its arid basins and the scarce but vital presence of water sources such as Milk Spring, Black Rock Spring, and Black Spring. These water features were essential to the early ranching and transit history of Nye County. The map provides a precise look at the township and range grid system across this section of Nevada, illustrating how legal boundaries were laid over the natural topography of the Great Basin during a contemporary period of environmental mapping.
