2021 Map of Fourmile Canyon

About this map

Cocoon Mountains and the Sand Springs Range dominate this Churchill County landscape, forming a corridor of high ground punctuated by dramatic drainage systems. The map shows the stark transition between the elevated peaks of the Barnett Hills and the low-lying expanses of the Fourmile Flat and Salt Wells Basin. These basins serve as the terminal points for several significant washes and canyons, most notably the Diamond Field Jack Wash and Fourmile Canyon. The drainage patterns, including Bills Canyon and Arterial Canyon, illustrate the complex hydrology of the Great Basin. Small but critical water sources like Rock Springs are noted among the ridges, while features such as Aplite Ridge and Roys Point provide essential landmarks for navigating this desert terrain.
