1979 Map of Woodfords

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Woodfords sits at the base of the Carson Range, where the West Fork Carson River descends from the high peaks into the fertile flats of the Carson Valley. This 1970s landscape is defined by the transition from the Toiyabe National Forest to the ranching lands of Diamond Valley. Local history is anchored by the Snowshoe Thompson Historical Mon and the Woodfords Cem, reflecting the area's legacy as a vital corridor for Sierra crossings. The map details a network of named canyons like Fay Luther Canyon Creek and Acorn Canyon that drain toward the Washoe Indian Res. Evidence of early surveying and settlement persists through labels like Von Schmidt Road and the small communities of Fredericksburg and Paynesville, providing a clear view of the Alpine County and Douglas County borderlands before modern development.
