About this map

Fairview and its surrounding desert landscape are defined by the convergence of mining history and water management in Churchill County. The terrain is marked by significant topographical features such as Dromedary Hump and Drumm Summit, where the primary transport corridor of Route 50 cuts through the basin. Evidence of the area's industrial and social past is preserved through the Dromedary Mill and the Fairview Cemetery, providing specific points of interest for those tracing the development of this arid region.

Hydrological features are central to the map's layout, showing the drainage of Dixie Valley Wash and Wonder Wash alongside the engineered Dixie Valley Reservoir Number One and Dixie Valley Reservoir Number Two. From the low expanse of Labou Flat to the higher elevation of Sand Dune Pass, the survey documents a landscape where geography dictated the placement of small settlements and resource extraction sites.
