2011 Map of Soda Lake NW

About this map

Hot Springs Mountains dominate the northwestern sector of this arid landscape, giving way to the expansive Fortymile Desert in the east. This section of Nevada is defined by its sparse infrastructure and vast alluvial drainage patterns. A singular point of interest for industrial and local history is Falais Siding, a rail point located in the south-central portion of the map. This siding represents the intersection of the regional transportation network with the harsh desert floor, where ephemeral water flows and shifting terrain dictate the placement of roads and railway lines through the Churchill County interior.
