2014 Map of Genoa

About this map

The Carson River and its intricate drainage system, including Williams Slough and Heyburn Ditch, define the transition from the valley floor to the Sierra Nevada foothills. In the early 21st century, the western portion of this area remains largely protected within the Toiyabe National Forest, where steep canyons such as Genoa Canyon and Sierra Canyon descent toward the historic settlement of Genoa. The eastern half of the map shows significant residential and infrastructure development, including Indian Hills and Johnson Lane, anchored by the Minden-Tahoe Airport. For those researching local heritage, the landscape is dotted with several burial sites, such as Jacks Valley Cemetery and the Chedic Cemetery, which sit near the northern boundary line separating Douglas and Carson City counties.
