2018 Map of Woodfords

About this map

Woodfords and Alpine Village anchor the high-altitude landscape of Alpine County along the California-Nevada state line. The terrain is defined by the steep descent from the peaks of the Toiyabe National Forest, including Jobs Peak and Cary Peak, into the fertile agricultural expanse of Carson Valley. A sophisticated network of historical water management infrastructure, including the Snowshoe Thompson Ditch Number Two, Millich Ditch, and Fredericksburg Ditch, illustrates the region's reliance on diverting the W Fork Carson River to support local ranching and settlements. Evidence of early transit is preserved in the route of the Emigrant Trl, while the Washoe Cem near the river provides a tangible link to the area's genealogical past and indigenous heritage.
