2018 Map of Wadsworth

About this map

Wadsworth sits at a geographic crossroads in Nevada, where the Truckee River bends southward near the edge of the Fortymile Desert. The settlement's street grid, including Jackson St and Herman Ave, reflects a layout influenced by its proximity to the rail corridor, evidenced by Railroad Dr. To the north, the landscape is defined by a series of prominent canyons such as Gardella Canyon and Hill Ranch Canyon, which cut through the high ground of the Diabase Hills and Black Mtn. This desert terrain highlights the importance of the river as a life-giving artery for the surrounding Dodge Flat and Fernley Valley. Modern infrastructure follows long-established routes, including the historic Lincoln Highway and Reservation Road, which serve as the primary conduits through this transition zone between the river valley and the arid stretches of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation.
