2012 Map of Gardnerville

About this map

Carson Valley serves as a lush corridor for agriculture and settlement in this western Nevada landscape. The East Fork Carson River dictates the region's layout, supported by an intricate network of irrigation including the Allerman Canal, Old Virginia Canal, and Edna Wilslef Ditch. These waterways sustain numerous family-named landmarks like the Springmeyer Ranch and Settlemeyer Ranch, reflecting a long-standing ranching tradition. The map highlights the community of Dresslerville and the Washoe Tribe Campground, signifying the indigenous heritage of the area. Further south, the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery sits near Indian Creek, while the expansive Gardnerville Ranchos indicates modern residential growth. From the industrial aviation presence at Pinenut Airport to the historic Twelvemile House, this survey provides a comprehensive look at the intersection of water rights and local land use.
