About this map

The Truckee River carves a winding path through this corner of Lyon County, defining the corridor where human settlement and transportation intersect with the desert landscape. The town of Wadsworth serves as the primary hub, anchored by the Wadsworth Post Office and a network of residential streets like Tumbleweed St and Sagebrush St. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape shaped by both natural features and long-established ranching interests, with the James Ranch and Thomas Ranch appearing along the river's fertile edge.

Surrounding the river valley, the terrain transitions into significant geological landmarks such as Dodge Flat and the striking Red White and Blue Mountain to the south. Local transit and infrastructure are well-documented through named routes like Chicken Rd and the Pipeline, while various canyons, including Gardella Canyon and Windmill Canyon, score the high ground. These details offer a precise view of the interface between the rural community of Dodge and the arid hills of the Diabase Hills.
