2018 Map of Steamboat

About this map

Reno and its southeastern neighborhoods define this modern landscape, where the urban edge of the Truckee Meadows meets the high desert terrain of the Virginia Range. This detailed topographical view records the significant hydrography of the region, anchored by Steamboat Creek and a network of thermal and freshwater features including Steamboat Springs, Reno Hot Springs, and Huffaker Springs. The map illustrates the sophisticated irrigation and water management systems necessary for this arid environment, featuring the Crane Ditch, Chandler Ditch, and Boynton Slough. To the south, the settlement of Steamboat sits near the base of the mountains, while the northeastern quadrant is occupied by the established community of Hidden Valley. Elevation changes are marked by prominent landmarks such as Castle Peak and Washington Hill, while the western margin includes a portion of the Toiyabe National Forest, showing the proximity of protected federal lands to the expanding residential developments.
