1893 Map of Carson

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Virginia City and the surrounding Comstock Lode district dominate this late-19th-century survey, showcasing the intense industrial and transportation network required to support the region's mining operations. The Virginia & Truckee Railroad snakes through the high terrain, connecting the mining hubs of Gold Hill and Silver City to the state capital at Carson and the milling sites along the Carson River. To the west, the landscape transitions sharply into the Tahoe National Forest, where Lake Tahoe and Marlette Lake are situated.
