1968 Map of Carson City

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Carson City sits at the foot of the Virginia Range and Toiyabe National Forest, showing a capital city in transition during the late 1960s with updates into the early 1980s. The urban grid is dense with institutional landmarks, including the Gov Mansion, the Museum, and numerous schools such as Fritsch Sch and St Theresa Sch. To the north, Washoe Lake State Park borders the high desert valley, while the western heights are defined by complex water management features like the Aqueduct, Siphon, and the Hobart Cr Reservoir. Local history is preserved at the Lone Mtn Cemetery and the Carson Indian Colony, while the industrial past is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and active extraction sites like the Premier Mine. This survey captures the intersection of civic expansion and the demanding geography of the Eagle Valley.
