1959 Map of Reno
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Reno and Sparks serve as the primary urban hubs in this 1957 record of Western Nevada, a landscape defined by the stark contrasts of the high desert and the Sierra Nevada range. To the south, the state capital at Carson City sits near the shores of Lake Tahoe, while the interior is dominated by terminal basins like Pyramid Lake and the massive Carson Sink. The era's Cold War footprint is visible at Stead AFB and various Navy Bombing Target Areas north of the Desert Mountains.
