About this map

Reno and Sparks dominate the landscape of this 2012 survey, showing the complex urban footprint of northwestern Nevada. The map captures the significant role of institutional and transportation infrastructure, from the expansive University of Nevada campus and its Experimental Farm to the Cannon International Airport and the prominent Round House near the rail lines in Sparks. The Truckee River flows through the heart of the city, passing Scott Island and Virginia Lake, while the irrigation history of the region is evidenced by the Prosser Valley Ditch.

Outlying residential growth is documented in named developments like Golden Valley, Raleigh Heights, and Panther Valley, which occupy the rising terrain toward the Junction House Range and Railroad Pass. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds, including Mother of Sorrows Cemetery and Mountain View Cemetery, alongside localized landmarks like the Desert Research Institute and various neighborhood post offices.
