2018 Map of Fourmile Canyon

About this map

Fourmile Flat and the Salt Wells Basin dominate the northern landscape of this Churchill County quadrangle, where the desert floor meets the rising peaks of the Sand Springs Range. This 2018 USGS survey details a network of dry washes and high-elevation features, including Diamond Field Jack Wash and the distinct formation of Aplite Ridge. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Barnett Hills and the Cocoon Mountains, areas marked by deep drainage systems like Arterial Canyon and G Z Canyon. The presence of Rock Springs provides a rare water reference in a terrain characterized by its numerous named canyons, such as Fourmile Canyon and Bills Canyon, which carve through the high desert topography.
