1980 Map of Chukar Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The U S Naval Reservation (Target Area) dominates this high-desert landscape in Churchill County, marking a period of significant military presence in the Great Basin. This mid-1970s topographical record illustrates a stark, arid environment characterized by the Fairview Valley (Depression) and the Labou Flat playa. The convergence of the Stillwater Range and the Sand Springs Range creates a complex system of drainages, including Chukar Canyon, Red Top Canyon, and Lucky Boy Canyon. Sparse human activity is recorded through several Borrow Pits, a small Prospect, and a scattered network of Jeep Trails. Water sources are notably rare in this terrain, with only South Well, a single Spring, and one other Well indicated across the entire quadrangle, emphasizing the desert's isolation and the importance of specific landmarks for navigation.
