2014 Map of Telephone Well

About this map

Fireball Ridge and the Sahwave Mountains define the high-desert landscape of this West-Central Nevada quadrangle. Located in northern Churchill County, the area is characterized by dramatic elevation changes where mountain slopes descend into the North Valley. The named settlement of Telephone Well stands as a focal point for the region's sparse infrastructure, situated along Sagehen Creek Rd as it tracks through the arid terrain. Natural drainage is primarily defined by Sage Hen Wash, which cuts across the central and northern sections of the map, illustrating the ephemeral water patterns typical of the Great Basin. To the east, the foothills of the Trinity Range mark the transition toward further mountain systems, while the extensive public land survey system grid overlay emphasizes the vast, open nature of this Churchill County interior.
