2018 Map of Fourmile Flat

About this map

Sand Mtn rises as a prominent landmark in the high desert of Churchill County, punctuating a landscape defined by expansive salt flats and seasonal water sources. The transition from the elevations of the Stillwater Range, including the distinct Pony Bob Peak, down to the level expanse of Fourmile Flat reveals the stark hydrography of the Great Basin. Water features like Tunnel Spring and Sand Springs provide critical points of interest in this arid environment, while the presence of Salt Wells Marsh and Salt Cr indicates the drainage patterns that feed into the lower Salt Wells Basin. This 2018 survey provides an exact look at the natural topography and primitive road networks crossing these basins just east of Eightmile Flat.
