1956 Map of Carson City

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Carson City serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, showing the state capital as a compact urban center before the rapid expansions of the late 20th century. The map detail highlights the State Capitol and the Carson-Tahoe Hospital, while institutional sites like Sunny Acres Childrens Home and the Stewart (Indian Agency) are clearly marked on the outskirts. To the west, the landscape transitions into the Toiyabe National Forest, where the shores of Lake Tahoe reveal early development at Glenbrook, Sand Harbor, and Incline.
