1893 Map of Carson

To the west, the clear waters of Lake Tahoe meet the timbering outpost of Glenbrook, while Washoe Lake sits between the mountain ranges in Washoe Valley. Notable landmarks of the era include the State Prison just east of the capital and the legendary Sutro tunnel site. The map traces early infrastructure such as the Cradlebaugh Bridge and McTarnahan Bridge, which served the ranching interests in the sprawling Carson Valley and Eagle Valley.
