About this map

The state capital and the dramatic eastern front of the Carson Range define this modern landscape where the Eagle Valley floor meets the high desert. Modern development in Carson City is densely detailed, showing the civic core around the Carson City County Courthouse and the Supreme Court of Nevada, as well as the Western Nevada College campus. To the north, the terrain rises toward Lakeview Summit, where the historic Lakeview settlement sits near the narrow passage between the Washoe Valley and the capital city.

Water management and natural springs are prominent, from the recreational shoreline of South Beach on Washoe Lake to the Hobart Cr Reservoir high in the mountains. This map documents the intersection of geology and urban growth, featuring landmarks like Carson Hot Springs and the distinctive Lone Mountain, which hosts the Lone Mountain Cem. Much of the western half of the map remains protected under the Toiyabe National Forest, where steep canyons like Kings Canyon and Ash Canyon provide a sharp contrast to the bustling valley floor.
