About this map

The Virginia Range dominates the southern landscape of this 2021 survey, giving way to the expanding residential and industrial corridors of Fernley. Historical desert crossings are evoked by the proximity of the Fortymile Desert and the Twenty-Six-Mile Desert, names that speak to the arduous transit of early western pioneers. The northern half of the map shows a modern network of roads, including Industrial Dr and Mission Way, alongside water infrastructure vital to the region such as the Truckee Canal and the Fernley Reservoir Number One 12.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks including the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cem and Fernley Desert Memorial Garden. The map documents the distinct transition from the high elevations of the Fernley Hills down into the Fernley Valley, where settlements like Argo and agricultural landmarks like Farm District Rd define the local geography. Significant infrastructure such as Samsarg Field and the Gas Line Rd further highlight the intersection of utility and habitation in this arid landscape.
