2014 Map of Lahontan Mountains

About this map

Lahontan Mountains dominate the central topography of this Churchill County survey, revealing a landscape defined by the tension between high desert peaks and intensive water management. The southern reaches are anchored by the Salt Wells Basin and the settlement of Salt Wells, while the northern portion showcases a complex network of irrigation infrastructure. This system includes the Stillwater Point Reservoir Diversion Canal, which feeds the Stillwater Point Reservoir, alongside numerous drains such as the Winsett Drain and Harmon Drain. Notable summits like Sehoo Mtn, Eetz Mtn, and Rainbow Mtn provide significant vertical relief, tracing the Great Western Divide through the high terrain. The map captures the agricultural and hydrological footprint required to sustain this region, from the S Line Canal to the various sloughs that weave through the valley floor.
