2021 Map of Pirouette Mountain

About this map

Dixie Valley sits at the heart of this Churchill County landscape, where the flat valley floor meets the steep ascent of Pirouette Mtn. This 2021 survey illustrates a remote Great Basin environment defined by complex drainage systems and isolated water sources. Dixie Valley Wash and Elevenmile Wash dominate the hydrology, carving paths through the alluvial fans that spread from the surrounding highlands. The map details several topographic landmarks, including Cain Spring Canyon, Slaughter Canyon, and Red Top Gulch, which provide critical reference points in the arid terrain. The presence of Cain Spring in the northern sector highlights the vital role of perennial water sources in this high-desert region. The primary corridor through the area remains Dixie Valley Rd, connecting the scattered canyons and washes within the public land survey system grid.
