1979 Map of Carson City

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Comstock Lode heritage is prominent in this late 1970s survey, marking the historic mining corridor through Virginia City, Gold Hill, and Silver City. The landscape transitions from the developed edge of Reno and Carson City to the high desert terrain of the Virginia Range and Pine Nut Mountains. Institutional and educational history is anchored by the Stewart Indian School and several state corrections facilities, including the Nevada State Maximum Security Prison. To the west, the eastern shores of Lake Tahoe are detailed, showing Incline Village and Glenbrook alongside the Toiyabe National Forest. The map also captures the agricultural and water infrastructure of the Carson River basin, reaching eastward to the Lahontan Reservoir and the Fort Churchill Historic State Monument, reflecting a region balancing urban growth with its industrial and frontier past.
