1985 Map of Fallon
USGS Topo · Published 1992About this map
Fallon serves as the focal point of this irrigation-focused landscape within the Lahon Tan Valley, where an intricate network of canals and drains defines the high desert environment. The Carson River is managed through features like the Coleman Diversion Dam, feeding an agricultural grid that supports the community and the nearby Indian Colony. This period shows the town's established infrastructure, from the Oats Park Sch and Churchill Co Cem to the Fallon Municipal Airport. To the south, the settlement of St Clair sits near the St Clair Cem, while the natural topography of Rattlesnake Hill and the vast Alkali Flats provide stark contrast to the engineered water system of the Soda Lake Drain and Sheckler Canal. The map documents a decade of growth and resource management in Churchill County during the early 1980s.
