1910 Map of Carson Sink

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

Fallon serves as the hub of this early twentieth-century desert landscape, where the irrigation efforts of the South Branch and Carson River meet the expansive Carson Sink. The map details a transition from the agricultural settlements of the Carson Valley to the industrial outposts in the surrounding ranges. Mining operations like the Nevada Hills Mine and Mizpah Mine near Fairview demonstrate the mineral wealth driving settlement into the high country. To the north, the Southern Pacific Railroad traces the edge of the Hot Springs Mountains, connecting remote stations like White Plains Huxley Sta. and Parran. The presence of the Borax Works near Fourmile Flat and the Desert Queen Mine highlights the diverse extraction economy of Churchill County during this era of Nevada development.
