1969 Map of Foxtail Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Stillwater Marsh and a complex network of wetlands dominate this Nevada landscape, reflecting the intricate water management of the high desert in the late 1960s. The map illustrates a transitional environment where the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge meets the stark Alkali Flat. Human intervention in this hydrologic system is visible through features like West Drain, East Canal, and the Stillwater Reservoir, which support diverse habitats such as Foxtail Lake and Goose Lake. Local land use is noted by remote outposts like Rice Landing and the East Pasture Corral. To the south, the terrain shifts abruptly as the flats give way to the steep relief of the Stillwater Point and the drainages of Mountain Well Canyon and Shirttail Canyon, marking the edge of the desert basin floor.
