2021 Map of Buena Vista Hills South

About this map

Carson Sink dominates the western portion of this high-desert landscape in Churchill County. This low-lying drainage basin defines the terrain's hydrology, set against the rising slopes of the Stillwater Range in the southeast and the Buena Vista Hills to the northeast. The map provides a clear look at the topographical transition from the sink's edge into the interior highlands, where features like Copper Kettle Canyon cut through the arid uplands. This area remains largely defined by its natural drainage patterns and public land divisions, reflecting the characteristic open character of the Great Basin during the early twenty-first century.
