About this map

The agricultural and military landscape of Lahontan Valley centers on the eastern outskirts of Fallon, where an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure sustains the desert basin. The map illustrates a highly engineered environment defined by the S Line Canal, L Line Canal, and numerous secondary waterways like the Harmon Number One Drain and Upper Paiute Drain. These systems feed into significant local catchments, including the S Line Reservoir and Harmon Reservoir.

Military presence is dominant at the Fallon Naval Air Station - Van Voorhis Field, which occupies a large portion of the central terrain. To the north, Rattlesnake Hill rises above the valley floor near the Churchill County Cemetery and the Fallon Municipal Airport. The southeastern corner transitions into more prominent geological features such as Grimes Point and Eetz Mtn, marking the edge of the valley's developed irrigation zone.
