1956 Map of Carson City

About this map

Carson City serves as the focal point of this mid-1950s survey, showing the Nevada state capital before its major late-century expansion. The map captures the distinct geographic transition from the high-desert terrain of Eagle Valley and the Carson River basin up into the Sierra Nevada range. Along the shoreline of Lake Tahoe, established enclaves like Glenbrook and Incline are visible, while the interior peaks like Genoa Peak and Snow Valley Peak separate the lake from the older settlements of the valley floor.
