About this map

Stillwater and its surrounding wetlands dominate this landscape in the early twenty-first century, revealing an intricate network of desert water management and agricultural settlement. The region is defined by the Stillwater Slough and a vast complex of lakes and ponds, including Dutch Bill Lake, Lead Lake, and Stillwater Point Reservoir. These water bodies are interspersed with land features such as Welch Island and Lund Island, reflecting the area's importance as a terminal drainage basin.

Settlement patterns are tied to the water, with the Paiute Pasture and local agricultural holdings like Freeman Ranch and Kent Ranch situated near the irrigation channels. The presence of Reservation Rd indicates the proximity of tribal lands, while named landings such as South Lead Lake Landing suggest the historic and contemporary importance of these waters for local recreation and subsistence in the Nevada desert.
