1908 Map of Carson Sink

About this map

Fallon serves as the central hub of this Great Basin landscape, where the waters of the Carson River meet the vast desert expanse. In the early twentieth century, this region was a critical corridor for both natural waterways and the expanding rail networks of the Southern Pacific System and the Nevada and California RR. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic environment, featuring the Carson Sink, Humboldt Lake, and several smaller bodies like Soda Lake and Carson Lake.
