2015 Map of Foxtail Lake

About this map

Stillwater Point Reservoir dominates the southwestern corner of this desert landscape, where water management defines the topography. A complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the Hunter Drain, W Canal, and E Canal, supports the surrounding pastures. The map details a series of ephemeral and semi-permanent water bodies such as Cattail Lake, Dog Head Pond, and Goose Lake, which highlight the high-desert hydrology of Churchill County. To the east, the terrain rises into the foothills, marked by deep cuts like Sheep Canyon and Mud Hole Canyon. These geological features contrast sharply with the flat, managed lands of the West Pasture and East Pasture, illustrating the transition from reclaimed agricultural basins to the arid upland reaches of the Stillwater Range.
