About this map

The East Fork Carson River winds through this Douglas County landscape, supporting a complex network of irrigation and water management essential to the high desert valley. The Allerman Canal and various historic waterways like the Lower Old Virginia Canal and Edna-Wilslef Ditch define the agricultural infrastructure of the region. This 2018 survey captures the interface between established residential communities and the surrounding natural features, ranging from the Toiyabe National Forest to the specialized Lahontan National Fish Hatchery.

Settlement patterns are anchored by Gardnerville and Gardnerville Ranchos, while smaller communities like Dresslerville and Ruhenstroth maintain distinct identities. Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of Eastside Memorial Park and landmarks such as the Western Nevada College Douglas Campus. The terrain shifts from the valley floor up toward Williams Canyon and the Fish Spring Flat, illustrating the geographic diversity of the Carson Valley.
