About this map

Lemmon Valley serves as a focal point for mid-century expansion northeast of Reno, dominated by the presence of the Reno-Stead Airport and its associated industrial and residential infrastructure. The landscape transitions from the residential clusters along Lemmon Drive and Trailer Park to the open, rugged terrain of Freds Mountain and Hungry Mtn. This period of development is marked by a network of state-named residential streets like Alaska St and Utah St, while the local economy is evidenced by numerous Sandpit operations and several Prospects scattered across the valley slopes.

Local infrastructure for the growing community includes the Lemmon Valley Sch and a series of utilities such as Settling Ponds and a Radio Tower. The survey captures the distinct Corporate Boundary and Military Boundary lines that defined the northern edge of the city during this era. Beyond the immediate settlement, the terrain opens into Antelope Valley and Hungry Valley, illustrating the intersection of suburban growth and the traditional Great Basin landscape.
