2021 Map of Washoe City

About this map

Washoe Valley anchors this high-desert landscape, with the expansive Washoe Lake serving as a focal point between the steep eastern slopes of the Toiyabe National Forest and the Steamboat Hills. The map details a mix of established residential corridors and historic sites, including the Bowers Mansion Hot Spring and the old settlement of Franktown near Franktown Creek Cemetery. This area represents a significant intersection of Nevada's early ranching and transport history, evidenced by the proximity of Washoe City and its namesake Washoe City Cemetery to the rising suburban developments of New Washoe City. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Slide Mountain and Washoe Hill, while numerous small drainages such as Browns Creek and Jones Creek define the western alluvial fans.
