1910 Map of Carson Sink

About this map

The Carson Sink dominates this desert landscape, serving as the terminal basin for the Humboldt River and Carson Lake. At the time of this 1908 survey, the area was a focal point for Nevada's early 20th-century mining and agricultural development. The Southern Pacific Railroad and the Nevada and California Railroad create a transportation spine through the basin, connecting early rail stops like White Plains and Parran. Local industry is evidenced by the Borax Works near Eightmile Flat and several high-altitude mining operations.
