This map is from Wheeler's series of maps showing land classification by type including Agriculture, Timber, and Grazing, as well as Arid or Barren. From the 1877 survey, this large map locates Reno, Carson, and Virginia City. It covers portions of the drainage basins of the Feather, Yuba, American, Truckee and Carson Rivers; Tahoe, Pyramid, Winnemucca and Honey Lakes and the so-called Mud Lakes; also the country in the vicinity of the Comstock Lode and that portion of the Sierra Nevada through which the Central Pacific Railroad passes. Finely colored in green and ochre with varying line. Dated 1877 but published by Wheeler in 1879.
