2021 Map of Wadsworth
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
The Truckee River carves through this corner of the Great Basin, where the historical settlement of Wadsworth serves as a focal point at the junction of modern and historic transit corridors. The street grid of the town, including Main St and Herman Ave, is clearly defined alongside the tracks of the railroad. To the north, the landscape transitions into the arid expanse of Dodge Flat and the edges of the notorious Fortymile Desert, a segment of the California Trail known for its harsh conditions. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features such as the Diabase Hills, Black Mtn, and the curiously named Red White and Blue Mtn to the south. Local ranching and mining history is suggested by named canyons like Hill Ranch Canyon and Tiger Canyon, while the presence of the Lincoln Hwy highlights the area's long-standing role as a gateway for transcontinental travel.
