2014 Map of Fernley East

About this map

Fernley anchors this 2014 landscape, marking a point where intensive desert irrigation meets the expansive terrain of the Virginia Range. The town's growth is clearly visible through an intricate grid of residential streets like Mission Way and Salvadore Dr, which push toward the edges of the Fortymile Desert. The area's agricultural and industrial character is defined by water management, with the Truckee Canal and Streiff Drain cutting through the valley to support local operations and the Fernley Reservoir Number One. To the east, the settlement of Argo sits near the reservoirs, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the high-relief topography of the Fernley Hills. This survey documents a modern Nevada community balancing its residential expansion with its historical reliance on engineered water systems in a challenging arid environment.
