1985 Map of Lahontan Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Lahontan Reservoir State Recreation Area dominates this landscape where the desert floor meets essential water infrastructure in the mid-1980s. The map illustrates the convergence of the Carson River and the Truckee Canal, which feed the reservoir at the Lahontan Dam. This area serves as a critical junction for regional irrigation and transport, evidenced by the Southern Pacific railroad lines cutting through the northern and western sections of the quadrangle. Significant topographical features like the Dead Camel Mountains and the Virginia Range frame the basin, while localized landmarks such as The Narrows and Sixmile Beach detail the shoreline's character. The presence of numerous prospects and borrow pits reflects the ongoing extractive history of the region, while a lone Historical Marker northwest of the water suggests a recorded legacy prior to the reservoir's expansion.
