About this map

Reno's southern suburban expansion meets the high desert landscape in this early 21st-century record of Washoe County. The transition from established neighborhoods near Virginia Lake and the Washoe County Golf Course to the burgeoning residential developments further south is clearly evident. The map documents a landscape where traditional agricultural holdings like Double Diamond Ranch and Pedretti Ranch sit alongside modern infrastructure including the Cannon International Airport.

Natural landmarks define the eastern and southern edges of this quadrangle, from the heights of Rattlesnake Mountain and Huffaker Hills down to the drainage networks of Thomas Creek and Evans Creek. The geography reveals how development has navigated the terrain, with arterial roads like S McCarran Blvd providing connectivity between the growing suburbs and the recreational corridors leading toward Whites Canyon and Mount Rose Spring.
