2014 Map of Stillwater NE

About this map

Carson Sink dominates the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Churchill County, representing a terminal drainage point for the Carson River where water evaporates in the arid Nevada sun. The southern portion of the quadrangle reveals a complex network of managed water features and wetlands, including Willow Lake and North Lead Lake. The presence of the Lead Bypass Canal indicates human intervention in the local hydrology, likely for agricultural or wildlife management purposes. This 2014 survey documents the late-twentieth-century road system, with simple arteries like Westside Rd and North Rd providing the primary access through the desert flats. The map is heavily defined by the Public Land Survey System, showing the grid boundaries for T22N, T21N, and T20N across ranges R30E and R31E.
