About this map

Genoa and the surrounding Carson Valley are captured here as they appeared in 2012, highlighting a landscape defined by ranching history and modern development. The map details a string of family-named agricultural holdings along the base of the mountains, including the Adams Ranch, James Canyon Ranch, and Hollister Ranch, illustrating the persistent agrarian character of this corner of Douglas County. To the north, the growing community of Indian Hills and the proximity to the Douglas County Airport show the area's transition toward more residential and commercial utility.

Water remains a central focus of the geography, with the Carson River and Williams Slough meandering through the valley floor. Notable local landmarks such as Hobo Hot Springs, the Ormsby County Farm, and the Stewart Indian School Ranch provide significant touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracking the institutional and natural history of the region. The map also identifies the Genoa Cemetery and Jacks Valley Cemetery, offering precise locations for those researching early Nevada pioneers.
