1967 Map of Steamboat

About this map

The city of Reno expands into the Truckee Meadows in this mid-century survey, with purple tinting indicating urban growth through 1979. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the high peaks of the Virginia Range, where mining activity is evidenced by labels like the Washington Mine and various quarries. Geothermal activity is a central feature of the local geology, notably at Steamboat Springs where numerous hot wells and geysers are documented near the southern edge of the meadow.
