1950 Map of Mt. Rose

About this map

Washoe City and the historic estate at Bowers Mansion anchor the eastern foothills of the Carson Range at the midpoint of the twentieth century. This landscape captures a period of transition as the industrial history of the Comstock Lode era, seen in the Ophir Mill Site, meets the expanding mid-century infrastructure of Reno. To the north, the Reno Airport and Airway Beacon signify the region's growing importance in early aviation, while schools like Huffaker Lane School and Home Gardens School indicate burgeoning residential pockets.
