1990 Map of Reston

About this map

The small settlement of Reston anchors this corner of Douglas County as it appeared in the late 1980s, serving as a focal point for the surrounding timber and ranching landscape. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Reston Ridge and Sugar Pine Ridge, which hem in the productive lowlands of Flournoy Valley and Lookingglass Valley. Evidence of local industry is visible through the presence of a Quarry and a Substation, while the drainage system is dominated by Lookingglass Creek and its many tributaries, including Morgan Creek and Porter Creek. Notable landmarks like Eagle Rock and Bushnell Rock provide distinct navigational markers across the rugged terrain, which is also crisscrossed by the Williams River and Little Cow Creek. This 1990 provisional edition captures the rural character of the region before significant modern development altered these traditional land-use patterns.
