About this map

Carson City sits at the foot of the Carson Range where the high desert floor meets the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. This 2018 survey documents the city's residential expansion into the Eagle Valley and the surrounding canyons. The interface between urban development and the vast Toiyabe National Forest is clearly visible, with numerous motorized trails climbing through Kings Canyon and North Kings Canyon.

Notable landmarks like Western Nevada College and the Lone Mountain Cem anchor the north side of town, while the northern edge of the quadrangle reaches into the Washoe Valley and Lakeview area. Geothermal features are represented by Carson Hot Springs, a long-standing local fixture. The map's topography captures the dramatic elevation change from the valley floor to peaks like Snow Valley, providing a detailed look at the watershed of Ash Canyon Cr and McEwen Creek.
