1969 Map of Mt. Rose NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The expanding southern edge of Reno meets the high desert and mountain foothills in this late 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from urban infrastructure, including the Reno International Airport and its neighboring Air National Guard facility, to the managed waters of the Reno Golf Course and the Virginia Lake recreational area. A network of irrigation ditches and flumes serves the valley floor, supporting sites like the Washoe Fish Rearing Station and the Wheeler Ranch. To the southwest, the terrain rises sharply into the Toiyabe National Forest, where steep canyons like Whites Canyon contrast with the level plains of the Huffaker Hills. This period captures the city’s early southward reach, showing local landmarks like the Reno-Drive-in Theater alongside the working landscape of gravel pits and quarries near Rattlesnake Mtn.
