1968 Map of Mt. Rose NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Carson Range dominates this late-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by high-altitude meadows and a complex network of water management features on the edge of the Toiyabe National Forest. The northwestern corner of the map captures the Truckee River as it winds alongside the Southern Pacific railroad line, a vital transportation corridor through the mountains. Higher elevations reveal the headwaters of several drainages, including Hunter Creek and Thomas Creek, which feed into infrastructure like Hunter Creek Res and the Steamboat Ditch. Evidence of local industry and utility is visible through a Quarry near the river and a Radio Facility perched on a ridge. Significant alpine features such as Big Meadows Springs, Davis Meadow, and Hunter Lake offer clear detail for those tracing the historic land use and hydrology of the eastern Sierra front.
