2011 Map of Derby Dam

About this map

Derby Dam anchors this stretch of the Truckee River corridor, a critical point of water diversion in the Nevada landscape. The 2011 topography shows a distinct transition from the traditional river-oriented settlements at Clark and Thisby to modern industrial and infrastructure expansion. The Eagle-Picher Industries Inc Mill and the proximity of the Clarks Post Office indicate a legacy of resource processing and local service, while the development of the USA Pkwy and a network of new roads like Milan Dr and Portofino Dr reveal a shifting land use pattern south of the river. The southern portion of the map is defined by the deep incisions of Post Canyon, contrasting with the engineered landscapes of the Canal Rd and interstate interchanges such as the Orchard Interchange.
