2012 Map of Mount Rose NW

About this map

Fleish sits along the bend of the Truckee River in the northwest corner of this Nevada landscape, where the terrain rises sharply into the high country of the Sierra Nevada. This area is defined by its complex drainage systems and seasonal mountain meadows, such as Big Meadows and Davis Meadow, which have historically served as critical landmarks for trans-Sierran travel and resource management. The map details a network of forest roads and remote water features, including Hunter Lake and the Hunter Creek Reservoir, illustrating the mid-century infrastructure required to manage water rights and fire access in this high-altitude environment. Peaks like Snowflower Mountain and Alpine Walk Peak anchor the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the presence of Dutch Louie Flats suggests localized history related to the region's early prospecting or ranching eras.
