About this map

The Verdi Range and the high elevations of the Bald Mountain Range dominate this borderland landscape, where the state line divides the Toiyabe National Forest and Tahoe National Forest. The settlement of Verdi and the residential area of Sierra Pines sit at the edge of the Truckee River corridor, serving as gateways to a network of high-country valleys including Dog Valley, Jones Valley, and Stampede Valley.

Historical transit routes are well-preserved in the terrain, with Henness Pass Rd and Babbitt Rd cutting through the mountains. From the heights of Babbitt Peak and Crystal Peak, the map traces a complex hydrography of mountain streams like Sunrise Cr and N Br Dog Cr. These features highlight the area's dual character as both a recreational wilderness and a crucial watershed for the growing urban reach of Reno just to the southeast.
