About this map

Lemmon Valley sits at the heart of this Nevada landscape, showing the transition from mid-century ranching and mineral exploration to a growing residential footprint on the outskirts of Reno. The presence of the Reno-Stead Airport and an adjacent Military Reservation defines the western edge of the quadrangle, reflecting the area's strategic aeronautical and logistical importance. A systematic street grid is emerging in the valley, with roads named after states like Oregon Blvd, Idaho Blvd, and Arkansas St providing structure to the new housing developments.

Evidence of the local economy is scattered through the terrain, from prospects in the northern hills to several sandpits near the valley floor. Small-scale infrastructure such as the Lemmon Valley Sch and a local Trailer Park provide specific landmarks for genealogical and local history research. The surrounding topography is dominated by the ridges of Antelope Valley and Hungry Valley, which channel seasonal water toward the Settling Ponds and larger valley floor reservoirs.
