USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Truckee River carves a critical corridor through this arid landscape, serving as the lifeblood for settlements and infrastructure in the late 1950s. The town of Wadsworth stands as a primary hub where the Southern Pacific railroad follows the river's bend, while nearby Fernley marks a burgeoning junction at the edge of Dodge Flat. This survey highlights the complex water management of the era, anchored by Derby Dam and various gaging stations that diverted mountain runoff for local agriculture and industry.
