About this map

Reno expands southward into the Truckee Meadows in this mid-1990s record of urban development Meeting the foothills of the Toiyabe National Forest. The landscape transition is marked by the Reno Corporate Boundary, which separates the dense suburban street grids and commercial hubs like Meadowood Mall from the high elevations of the Mt Rose Wilderness Area. Along the eastern corridor, the Reno Cannon International Airport and industrial zones contrast with the drainage systems of Thomas Creek and Whites Creek.

Resource extraction and recreation coexist on the city's edge, with labels for the Wheeler Ranch Prospect and several borrow pits near the southern Steamboat Hills. Local residents will recognize established neighborhood landmarks like Virginia Lake and Bartley Park, while the network of ditches, such as the Steamboat Ditch, reveals the hydrological engineering required to manage the valley floor as it shifted from its ranching roots toward modern residential neighborhoods.
