About this map

The high desert of northwestern Nevada is documented here during a period of expanding aviation and transportation infrastructure. Dominating the landscape is the Reno-Stead Airport in Lemmon Valley, surrounded by a growing network of residential roads like Santa Fe Rd and Plata Mesa Rd. The terrain is defined by the massive Petersen Mountain and Granite Hills, which separate the flat basins of White Lake and Silver Lake.

Along the western edge at the California border, the settlement of Border Town sits near the Western Pacific railroad line. Evidence of the region's mineral and utility history is visible through the Antelope Mine in the north and the Copperfield area to the south. An Old Railroad Grade and a Jeep Trail trace paths through the interior, reflecting the transition from early industrial transport to contemporary utility and recreational use.
