USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Wadsworth serves as the central hub of this mid-century landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad meets the winding course of the Truckee River. The map documents a critical juncture for regional water management, featuring the Derby Dam and the start of the Truckee Canal, which diverts water toward Fernley. This infrastructure, combined with the presence of the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, illustrates the complex irrigation and land-use patterns essential to the high desert economy during the 1950s.
