2014 Map of Nixon

About this map

Nixon sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, where the Truckee River snakes through the basin before reaching its terminus. The settlement's street network, including Banjo Wy and Moccasin Ln, reflects a structured community life in this arid region of Washoe County. To the north, the river is flanked by Marble Bluff and the low-lying Mud Lake Slough, marking the transition toward the sink. The topography is dominated by significant elevations such as Black Mtn and the Diabase Hills in the southeast, while the western edge is defined by the winding path of Secret Cr through Secret Canyon. This 2014 survey captures the persistence of these water-dependent settlements and the surrounding land management patterns, including the proximity of Numana Dam Rd and various local thoroughfares like Little Nixon Rd.
