1893 Map of Reno

About this map

The Truckee Meadows serve as the focal point for this late 19th-century landscape, where the growing settlement of Reno sits at a critical junction of early Nevada transportation. The Central Pacific Railroad follows the Truckee River corridor through Verdi and Glendale, while the V. & T. R. R. branches south. To the north, the California and Oregon Railroad cuts through Lemmon Valley, indicating the region's importance as a freight and passenger hub.
