The Truckee River carves through the northern portion of this landscape, serving as a vital corridor where Washoe, Storey, and Lyon counties converge. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex water management of the region, featuring the Truckee Canal and V2B Canal that support the growing residential developments of Fernley Valley. In the northwest, the settlement of Gilpin sits along the river's path as it enters the more arid expanses to the east. The southern half of the map is dominated by the high elevations of the Virginia Range, a stark contrast to the edge of the Fortymile Desert visible in the northeast. Small, isolated water sources like Freeman Spring and Horse Spring are noted in the more remote southern terrain, while a dense network of local roads such as Cantlon Dr and Saddlehorn Dr marks the area's modern expansion.
