2018 Map of Lahontan Mountains

About this map

Salt Wells and the surrounding Lahontan Mountains define this high-desert corridor of Churchill County, where intricate water management systems meet stark geological formations. The northern reach is characterized by an extensive network of drainage and irrigation infrastructure, including the Stillwater Point Reservoir, the S Line Canal, and various man-made channels like the Stillwater Point Reservoir Diversion Canal and Harmon Drain. These features speak to the region's long-term efforts to redirect water through the Stillwater Slough and toward the agricultural lands of the Lahontan Valley.
