About this map

Mining operations and early industrial infrastructure define the eastern slopes of the Carson Range as it meets the Nevada state line. The Truckee River corridor serves as the primary artery for transportation, shared by the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads. While the settlement at Verdi marks a significant hub near the river, the hills to the north are dotted with evidence of the region’s mineral history, including the Red Metal Mine, Golden Fleece Mine, and the Poeville (Site).

Water management is prominent across this landscape, from the Steamboat Ditch winding through the valley to the Hunter Cr Reservoir in the southeast. The survey also captures transition areas where the Toiyabe National Forest gives way to community developments like Mogul and Lawton. Researchers can trace the layout of the local Fish Hatchery or locate smaller community markers such as the Stead Sch and a local Cem near the river bend.
