2011 Map of Vista

About this map

The Truckee River corridor east of Sparks serves as the primary artery for this portion of Washoe County, where suburban expansion meets long-standing ranching operations. The landscape is defined by the transition from the Spanish Springs Valley into the narrow defiles of Lagomarsino Canyon, following the path of the river and Interstate 80. Numerous family-named agricultural sites such as Figoni Ranch, Stevens Ranch, and the Peri Ranch sit alongside historical landmarks like the Eastman Mill and the Wedekind Post Office. The southern portion of the map highlights the institutional presence of the University of Nevada Farm, while the eastern reaches include the distinctive Mustang Ranch and the Court of Antiquity. This map captures a moment of modern residential development in the north near Spanish Springs Ranch while the southern river valley maintains its established industrial and ranching character.
