1994 Map of Washoe City

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Washoe Lake and Little Washoe Lake dominate the central basin of this valley, flanked by the steep slopes of the Carson National Forest to the west. This 1990s revision reveals a landscape where historical industrial footprints meet modern residential expansion. The presence of the Ophir Mill Hist Marker and the Union Mine near Pleasant Valley points to the area's silver-era heritage, while the developing grid of New Washoe City reflects later growth. In the southwest, the venerable Franktown settlement remains near Bowers Mansion County Park, a site tied to the Comstock Lode's earliest wealth. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds including Whispering Pines Cem, Hot Springs Cem, and Franktown Cem, all situated along the valley's western edge where Ophir Creek and Galena Creek descend from the mountains.
