About this map

Petersen Mountain and Peavine Mountain anchor the high-desert landscape of this 2015 survey, where the suburban expansion of northern Reno meets the open reaches of the Toiyabe National Forest. The map illustrates a corridor of concentrated development along White Lake and throughout Cold Spring Valley, reaching toward the state line at Border Town. This era shows a complex mix of aviation and industry, centered around the Reno-Stead Airport and the neighboring community of Reno-Stead.

Lower-lying basins such as Lemmon Valley are shown with a dense network of residential streets including Silver Knolls Blvd and Plata Mesa Dr. The transition from the rugged slopes of the Granite Hills to the ephemeral waters of Silver Lake and White Lake highlights the unique hydrology of the region. Notable landmarks like the H Bar H Airport and the settlement of Copperfield appear alongside the expansive mountain terrain that separates these populated valleys.
