2011 Map of Lahontan Mountains

About this map

The Lahontan Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Churchill County, where the stark transition from mountain peaks to alluvial basins is clearly defined. Along the northern edge, the presence of the Stillwater Point Reservoir and Stillwater Slough indicates the vital role of water management in this arid region, connecting with the New River Slough and Lower Diagonal Drain to facilitate drainage and irrigation. The settlement of Salt Wells sits near the base of Salt Wells Mountain, marking a key transition point in the valley. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Gravel Pit Windmill, while several named peaks like Eagles House, Rainbow Mountain, and Eetz Mountain provide distinct navigational markers. The map also traces a network of rural roads such as Churchill Rd and Agency Rd, illustrating the human footprint across Churchill Valley and Wyemaha Valley.
