About this map

The Carson Range dominates this landscape southwest of Reno, where the Truckee River snakes through the northwestern corner near the settlements of Verdi and Fleish. This 2014 survey captures a high-elevation environment within the Toiyabe National Forest, characterized by significant mountain peaks and alpine catchments. Names like Snowflower Mtn and Alpine Walk Peak suggest the recreational and seasonal character of the terrain, while landmarks such as Dutch Louie Flats and Puny Dip Canyon offer local color for those researching regional place-names.

Water sources are vital to the area's geography, with the map documenting Hunter Lake and several high-altitude meadows including Big Meadows and Davis Meadow. These features, along with drainage systems like Alum Cr and Thomas Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology feeding down toward the Truckee Meadows. The presence of the interstate corridor near Verdi provides a modern contrast to the wilderness areas preserved in the forest lands.
