2014 Map of Eastgate

About this map

Eastgate and Middlegate represent the primary points of settlement in this arid Churchill County corridor, situated where the high desert meets the rising slopes of the Clan Alpine Mountains and the East Gate Range. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and transit, with Eastgate Wash serving as a central drainage feature for the surrounding peaks. Significant routes such as 50 and 722 bisect the terrain, following the natural geography established by various creek beds including Rock Cr and Bench Cr. The placement of White Rock Springs indicates a critical water source in a region otherwise characterized by ephemeral streams like Camp Cr and Willow Cr. The map captures the traditional land divisions of T17N R36E and adjacent townships, illustrating the sparse but deliberate human footprint in the Great Basin.
