2018 Map of I X L Canyon

About this map

The Stillwater Range dominates this landscape in Churchill County, where deep incisions like I X L Canyon and West Job Canyon carve through the high terrain. To the east, the mountains give way to the low expanse of Dixie Valley, a region shaped by significant tectonic activity. A notable geologic marker, the Fault Scarp of 1954, traces the transition between the range and the valley floor, serving as a reminder of the mid-century earthquake that altered this basin. Water sources are scarce but strategically located for livestock and local use, including Mud or Willow Spring and Black Brush Spring. The presence of Settlement Rd and Cattle Rd in the valley basin indicates the area's continued use for ranching and remote habitation, while the elevation at Silver Hill provides a vantage point over the complex system of canyons that drain toward the Dixie Valley Wash.
