About this map

The Carson River carves a path through this high-desert landscape, serving as a vital corridor for both 19th-century pioneers and modern irrigation systems. This 1980s provisional survey documents the historic Emigrant Trail (Carson River Route) alongside the more descriptively named Emigrant Trail (California Break-A-HEART Route). These wagon routes reflect the grueling westward expansion, while sites like Desert Station and Clifton mark former outposts in an arid environment bounded by the Virginia Range and the Pine Nut Mountains.
