2011 Map of West Gate

About this map

Middlegate and West Gate anchor this high-desert landscape in Churchill County, marking a vital junction where the highway cuts through the mountainous terrain. The map details an arid environment defined by seasonal watercourses like Wonder Wash and Dixie Valley Wash, which flow from the slopes of Chalk Mountain toward the basin of the Stingaree Valley. Industrial history is represented by the West Gate Mill, situated north of the primary road, suggesting the area's long-standing connection to local mining or processing activities. This 2011 survey captures the sparse infrastructure of the region, showing how modern transit corridors follow the natural breaks in the topography such as the one used by Bench Creek to the east.
