2018 Map of Hazen

About this map

Hazen and the surrounding high-desert terrain of the Fortymile Desert define this portion of the Lyon and Churchill County line. The landscape is characterized by its transition from the peaks of the Virginia Range to the wide expanse of the Twenty-Six Mile Desert. Local water management is visible through the engineering of the KX Lateral Canal and the Hazen Drain, which serve the agricultural efforts at Swingle Bench. The map captures the intersection of natural landmarks like Ragtown Pass and Patua Hot Springs with modern infrastructure, including the Gas Line Rd and Farm District Rd. Smaller points of interest such as Darwin, Black Butte, and Little Butte offer specific anchor points for local history research in this arid region of western Nevada.
