2014 Map of West Gate

About this map

Middlegate sits as a critical junction in this desert landscape, where the historical travel route is defined by the narrow passage of West Gate. This 2014 survey reveals the high-desert topography of the Clan Alpine Mountains and the West Gate Range, which channel drainage through features like Dixie Valley Wash and Wonder Wash. The terrain is marked by distinct geological formations, including Chalk Mtn and the broad Stingaree Valley, illustrating the arid basins and ranges typical of Churchill County. The map provides a detailed view of the modern road network intersecting with seasonal watercourses like Bench Cr, capturing the area as it appeared in the early 21st century before any significant shifts in the high-desert infrastructure.
