2018 Map of Grimes Point

About this map

The Fallon Naval Air Station (Van Voorhis Field) anchors this portion of the Lahontan Valley, showcasing the complex hydraulic engineering required for settlement in this arid Nevada landscape. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the S Line Canal, L Line Canal, and the Harmon-Number One-Drain, which feed into local catchments like the S Line Reservoir. These waterworks stand in contrast to the natural topography of Rattlesnake Hill and the archaeological significance of Grimes Point. The eastern edge is defined by the rising elevations of Eetz Mtn, while the community of Fallon and the Fallon Station area represent the primary residential and logistical hubs. This survey captures a modern look at how federal military presence and reclamation projects have shaped the geographical identity of Churchill County.
