About this map

The Truckee River anchors this 1967 survey of northwestern Nevada, tracing a path through the heart of Reno and Sparks. The landscape reflects a period of significant urban expansion, with purple-tinted revisions highlighting the growth of residential tracts in Sun Valley, Golden Valley, and Black Springs. Transportation networks dominate the valley floor, including the routes of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads alongside the developing path of Interstate 80. To the east, the Cannon International Airport and the Nevada Mental Health Institute stand as major institutional landmarks.

On the western slopes of Peavine Mt, the industrial history of the region is visible through the Reno Mizpah Mine and Recall Mine. Educational and community infrastructure is densely mapped, featuring numerous schools like Hug High Sch and the Univ of Nevada Experimental Farm. Large green spaces such as Rancho San Rafael Park and Idlewild Park provide a counterpoint to the growing suburban sprawl and the intensive gravel and sand extraction sites found near Lemmon Valley.
