USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Washoe City and the historic estate of Bowers Mansion anchor the eastern edge of the Toiyabe National Forest in this 1950s survey. The map records a landscape transitioning from its mining and ranching roots toward a recreational and aviation hub, featuring the Reno Airport and an early ski lift near Mt. Rose. Local history is preserved through the locations of the Ophir Mill Site and the Southern Pacific rail line cutting through the northern canyon near Fleish.
