2011 Map of Lahontan Dam

About this map

Lahontan Dam stands as the central engineering feature of this Nevada landscape, controlling the flow of the Carson River to create the expansive Lahontan Reservoir. The high desert shoreline is defined by recreational and geographical markers such as Churchill Beach, Sixmile Beach, and the Lahontan Boat Landing. Within the reservoir itself, Evans Island and protruding landforms like Horsemans Point and Blackbird Point illustrate the varied topography of the basin. The surrounding area features a network of local roads including Farm District Rd and Karen Rd, alongside natural drainage features like Sand Canyon. This 2011 survey reflects the region's primary function as a water management and recreation hub, detailing the modern access points and residential lanes that have developed around the reservoir's eastern and northern fringes.
