1974 Map of Virginia City
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Virginia City occupies the eastern slopes of the high desert terrain on this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, showing the historic mining hub and its surrounding environment from an aerial perspective. This specific format uses photographic imagery rather than traditional line work, capturing the density of the settlement alongside the distinct geological scarring of the landscape. The steep drainages of the Virginia Range dominate the center of the sheet, where narrow ravines and high ridges define the difficult geography of the Comstock region.
