1957 Map of Silver Springs

About this map

Lahontan Reservoir dominates the center of this landscape, its fingers reaching into the surrounding desert basins at the foot of the Virginia Range and the Dead Camel Mountains. The Lahontan Dam and its associated infrastructure, including the Power House and Control House, mark the industrial management of the Carson River as it enters the Lahontan Valley. To the west, the nascent grid of Silver Springs is visible, featuring a network of early streets such as Lake Ave, Citrus St, and Appian Way, alongside the Churchill Landing Strip.
