1893 Map of Carson

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

Virginia City and the surrounding mining district dominate the eastern slopes of the Flowery Range in this late nineteenth-century survey. The map details the intricate path of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad as it winds through the mountains to connect the silver mines of the Comstock Lode with the reduction mills along the Carson River at Empire and Dayton. The territorial importance of the region is evident in the layout of the capital at Carson, which includes the State Prison and sits at the crossroads of the Eagle Valley.
