2018 Map of Bell Canyon

About this map

Fairview Peak dominates the high ground of the Churchill County interior, serving as the primary landmark for this desert basin-and-range landscape. The survey details the complex topography of the Fairview Range and the West Gate Range, where steep drainage systems like Bell Canyon descend toward the surrounding lowlands. The transition between these prominent massifs and the broad, level surfaces of Fairview Valley and Bell Flat highlights the stark contrasts of the Great Basin terrain. In the southern reaches of the map, Slate Mtn stands as a distinct topographic feature, overlooking the flats. This 2018 edition provides precise contouring of these landforms, offering a clear view of the natural corridors and peaks that have guided travelers through this part of Nevada for generations.
