1952 Map of Mt. Rose

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Bowers Mansion stands near the edge of Washoe Valley, anchoring a landscape where the Sierra Nevada peaks meet the desert meadows of early 1950s Nevada. The high-altitude terrain is dominated by Mt Rose and Slide Mtn, while the valleys show a complex network of water management via the Truckee Ditch, Last Chance Ditch, and Steamboat Ditch. These waterways supported settlements like Franktown and the burgeoning industrial and transport hubs near the Reno Airport.
