2021 Map of Stillwater

About this map

Stillwater serves as the primary hub of this high-desert wetland system, where complex water management defines the landscape in the twenty-first century. The intricate network of human-engineered channels, such as the Lead Bypass Canal and Paiute Diversion Drain, sustains a series of shallow basins including Willow Lake and East Lake. This reliance on artificial drainage systems like the Kent-Drain and S 2 Canal reveals the critical balance required to maintain these habitats within the arid Churchill County environment.
