1968 Map of Minden
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Carson Valley is meticulously detailed in this late 1960s study, showcasing the agricultural and transport corridors of Douglas Co. The map centers on the high-desert settlements of Minden and Gardnerville, where the East Fork Carson River gives rise to an intricate system of irrigation ditches and sloughs, including Martin Slough and Cottonwood Slough. To the west, the Carson Range rises abruptly from the valley floor, marked by the steep ascent of the Kingsbury Grade and Daggett Pass Road into the Toiyabe National Forest. This document is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies small outlying communities like Mottsville, Centerville, and Sheridan, alongside family and local landmarks such as the Mottsville Cem, Captain George Cem, and the prominent Walleys Hot Springs.
