1994 Map of Steamboat

About this map

Reno extends its reach into the southern Meadows in this mid-1990s revision, where urban expansion meets the rising slopes of the Virginia Range. The landscape is a study in geothermal energy and early Nevada mining heritage, featuring the Powerplant (Geothermal) near Steamboat Springs (Hot) and the Steamboat Gaging Station. High in the eastern hills, the remnants of the silver era are visible at Washington (Site) and Lousetown (Site), while the Castle Peak Mine sits beneath its namesake summit. Industrial and recreational footprints are evident throughout, from the Rosewood Lakes Golf Course and Hidden Valley to numerous active operations like the Sand and Gravel Pit and Claypit, marking the boundary between Washoe and Storey counties.
