2014 Map of Gardnerville

About this map

Gardnerville and its neighbor Minden serve as the focal points of this Nevada landscape, where the valley floor is defined by a complex irrigation network and the transition to the high desert. The East Fork Carson River and its various sloughs, including Martin Slough and Cottonwood Slough, are harnessed by an intricate system of waterways like the Lower Old Virginia Canal and Allerman Canal. These features reflect the region's long-standing reliance on water management for agriculture and settlement. Farther south, the community of Dresslerville and the landmark Twelvemile House stand near the edge of the Toiyabe National Forest, while the terrain to the east rises into Williams Canyon. The map reveals the expansion of residential roads in East Valley and Ruhenstroth, contrasted against large-scale water features such as Dangberg Reservoir Number Four.
