2023 Map of Hawthorne West

About this map

Hawthorne and the neighboring military community of Babbitt sit at the southern edge of Walker Lake, anchored by the massive footprint of the Hawthorne Army Depot. The map reveals a highly structured landscape where the grid of town streets meets the specialized layout of the depot, including numerous bunkers and industrial access roads like Salvage RD and Lake RD. To the west, the steep slopes of the Wassuk Range rise sharply, dissected by drainages such as House Creek Canyon and Chaney Gulch. This modern survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the community and the military installation, while also noting local civic landmarks like the Mineral County Courthouse and the Hawthorne Industrial Airport. Notable water features include Cat Cr Reservoir and the Walker River delta, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Walker Lake Valley.
