About this map

Peavine Peak and Peavine Mountain anchor the high ground of the Toiyabe National Forest, overlooking a landscape where outdoor recreation and historic water infrastructure meet. The lower elevations are defined by the Truckee River corridor, which supports essential irrigation features like Steamboat Ditch, Coldron Ditch, and Lake Ditch. These waterways historically sustained the agricultural and early industrial needs of settlements like Verdi and Mogul.

Tracing the northern slopes reveals an intricate network of modern trails and access roads, including Bender Trail and Bull Ranch Trail, alongside natural landmarks like Copper Canyon and Mitchell Canyon. The eastern edge of the survey transitions toward the growing outskirts of Reno, noting the historic site of Lawton Hot Springs and the prominent Chalk Bluff near the river. This documentation of the area captures the intersection of public forest land and the expanding urban footprint of the Truckee Meadows.
