2000 Map of Boca

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

The Truckee River carves a critical corridor through this high-country landscape on the California-Nevada border, serving as the primary artery for both water and infrastructure at the turn of the millennium. The settlement of Floriston sits along the river's bend, while the historical significance of the area is preserved at the Boca Townsite Interpretive Trail near the Boca Dam. The map documents a landscape defined by water management, featuring the massive Stampede Reservoir and Boca Reservoir which dominate the western half of the quadrangle. These reservoirs, connected by the Little Truckee River, illustrate the engineered nature of the modern Sierra Nevada watershed. Traces of the region's earlier travel history are visible in the Emigrant Trail, which winds past Russel Creek and the Ranger Station, following a path much older than the surrounding Tahoe National Forest. The eastern edge is defined by the steep Verdi Range, where Granite Peak and Verdi Peak overlook the small riverside clusters of Mystic and Iceland.
