About this map

Carson City sits at the base of the Carson Range in this mid-1990s depiction of the Nevada state capital. The city's grid is dense with local landmarks, including the Nevada State Railroad Museum and the Lone Mtn Cemetery. North of the city center, the landscape transitions toward Washoe Valley and Washoe Lake State Park, where an Old Railroad Grade and Virginia & Truckee RR tracks trace the historic transportation corridors connecting these valleys.

To the west, the Toiyabe National Forest rises steeply, marked by several deep canyons such as Kings Canyon and Ash Canyon. Evidence of the region's industrial past and present is visible in the scattered workings of the Premier Mine and various sandpits. Unusual local features like the Carson Hot Springs and the Carson Indian Colony appear alongside modern infrastructure like the Western Nevada Community College, showing the evolution of the city's western edge.
