1957 Map of Reno
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Pyramid Lake and the vast Carson Sink dominate this high-desert landscape of western Nevada during the early 1960s. The regional centers of Reno and Sparks sit at the foot of the Virginia Range, while Carson City and Genoa anchor the southern reaches near the Toiyabe National Forest. The map captures a transition in land use, showing extensive conservation and tribal lands like the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge and the Walker River Indian Reservation alongside Cold War-era military activity, evidenced by several Navy Bombing Target Areas.
