1968 Map of McTarnahan Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Saratoga Hot Spring and the surrounding high desert terrain define this late-1960s landscape where the Carson River cuts through the valley. The map documents a unique intersection of state infrastructure and Indigenous lands, prominently featuring the Nevada State Medium Security Prison near Prison Hill alongside the Washoe Indian Allotments Boundary. The transition from the valley floor at Carson Valley to the heights of McTarnahan Hill and Hot Springs Mountain illustrates the localized water management of the era, marked by features like Mexican Dam and the McTarnahan Bridge (Site). Surveyors captured the industrial and transport footprint of the region, from the Bunker Hill Mine to the gravel pits and the runways of the Douglas County Airport, providing a clear view of the area's development before modern expansion.
