About this map

The southeastern reaches of Reno meet the rising slopes of the Virginia Range in this mid-1990s mapping of the Truckee Meadows. The landscape is a study in transition, where urban development at the city edge gives way to industrial and geothermal activity. The hydrothermal features of Steamboat Springs and the nearby Geothermal Powerplant reflect the unique geology of the area.

Further east, the map documents the historical footprint of Nevada's mining past through sites such as the Washington Site and the Lousetown Site, alongside active extraction points like the Castle Peak Mine. The rugged interior is crossed by tracks and 4WD roads leading to isolated points like Lookout Point, while the northern portion shows the managed landscape of Hidden Valley County Park and the engineered waters of Alexander Lake.
