2021 Map of New Empire

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Carson River winds through the canyons and valleys of this landscape, serving as a historic corridor for settlement and industry between the Virginia Range and the foothills of Prison Hill. This high-desert terrain is characterized by the convergence of several major canyons, including Brunswick Canyon, Santiago Canyon, and Daney Canyon, which drain into the floor of Eagle Valley. The map highlights the development around New Empire and the nearby Empire Cem, reflecting the area's legacy as a processing hub for the silver mines of the Comstock Lode. Aviation history is also present through both the Carson City Airport and the Parker Carson Airport. Further east, the Ten Mile Desert and Spring Valley showcase the more arid, expansive reaches of the region near the settlement of Mound House.
