2018 Map of New Empire

About this map

The Carson River winds through this Nevada landscape at the junction of the Virginia Range and the Ten Mile Desert. The region's industrial and transport heritage is evident in the transition from the historic Empire Cem and the settlement of Empire to the modern logistics hubs like Carson Airport and Parker Carson Airport. The presence of the Mexican Ditch and the proximity to Prison Hill at the southeastern edge of Carson City highlights the development of infrastructure to support both agriculture and civil institutions in this high-desert environment. Further east, Mound House serves as a notable waypoint where several canyons, including Santiago Canyon and Brunswick Canyon, converge. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape of complex drainage systems, such as Currus Warm Springs and Badger Spring, interspersed with a growing suburban road network.
