Fortymile Desert dominates the northern landscape of this Churchill and Lyon County region, a terrain historically known for its severe challenges to emigrants on the California Trail. The settlement of Hazen serves as a focal point where infrastructure meets the arid environment, situated near the Hazen Drain and the Truckee Canal. These irrigation works represent the transformation of the desert through the Newlands Project, bringing water to areas like Swingle Bench and Farm District Rd.
