2011 Map of Fourmile Canyon

About this map

Rock Springs provides a rare point of named hydrography in this high desert landscape of Churchill County, where the terrain is defined by a network of drainage washes and sharp topographic rises. The map centers on the namesake Fourmile Canyon and nearby Bills Canyon, illustrating the complex natural drainage patterns that flow toward the lower basins. Notable landmarks including Roys Point and Aplite Ridge break the horizon, while the naming of Diamond Field Jack Wash suggests a connection to the regional folklore of the old West. This 2011 edition, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, uses high-resolution data to document the remote interior of Nevada, capturing the relationship between geological features like Gote Flat and the surrounding mountain slopes.
