1910 Map of Carson Sink

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Fallon serves as a central hub in this High Desert landscape, situated near the braided channels of the Old River and South Branch of the Carson. The early twentieth-century infrastructure of the region is defined by the Southern Pacific rail lines and mining activity scattered throughout the surrounding ranges. To the east, the Stillwater Range and Sand Spring Range are dotted with significant industrial sites, including the Nevada Hills Mine and the Borax Works near Fourmile Flat. Local history and genealogy researchers can find several named settlements and stage stops like Ragtown, Stillwater, and White Plains Huxley Sta. The map captures the hydrological complexity of the Carson Sink and Carson Lake before modern diversions fully altered the basin's flow, alongside established mining camps such as Fairview and Wonder during their peak production years.
