After several average to above average precipitation years, fishing conditions have improved dramatically since the height of the drought just a few short years ago. Water volume, water quality, and water temperatures Williamstown, MA | Birmingham, AL are all improved as a result. Therefore, fish numbers, fish size, and fish health also benefit. One of the greatest benefits from successive good precipitation years is the carryover in fish from one year to the next. Better water conditions help river and stream fish survive the low flow and high temperature periods of late summer and early fall, so their overwinter survival is almost guaranteed and their size the subsequent season is increased. Our 2020 Fishing Guide has a number of incredibly valuable tools specifically added to help you as an angler realize the About This Guide benefits of improved fishing conditions around the silver state. The first tool is an article about small ponds and big fish. This article focuses on Nevada’s urban pond program. Urban ponds are located around the state within or near urban areas. This This high-quality guide is offered to you article highlights the special opportunities these places provide for anglers to enjoy a fishing by the Nevada Department of Wildlife excursion closer to home. Whether it’s a beginning angler or a seasoned veteran, our urban ponds offer something for everyone when a longer trip may not be practical. through its unique partnership with J.F.

    Lovelock-Cave-Back-Country-Byway

    Back Country Byways . An Invitation to Discover There is an axiom among seasoned travelers advising that the best way to get to know a new place is to get off the highway and visit the back roads, the side trails and the hidden, out-of-the-way corners where the true qualities wait to be discovered. The same axiom holds true for America’s public lands, the vast reaches of our nation that are all too often seen only from the windows of speeding cars or the tiny portholes of airliners. The Bureau of Land Management, America’s largest land managing agency, is providing an exciting opportunity for more Americans to get to know their lands by getting off the main roads for leisurely trips on a series of roads and trails being dedicated as Back Country Byways. The Back Country Byways Program, an outgrowth of the national Scenic Byways Program, is designed to encourage greater use of these existing back roads through greater public awareness. The system is BUREAUREAU OOFF LANDLAND MANMANAGEMENTGEMENT expected to expand to 100 roads when completed. In Nevada, each byway has a character and beauty of its own, taking travelers through scenery that is uniquely Nevadan, into historic areas that helped shape our state and near areas that have been largely untouched by man. They can see the multiple uses of their lands and come to a greater awareness of the need for the conservation and wise use of these resources. And all this can be accomplished at little cost to the taxpayer. Because the roads are already in place, only interpretive signs and limited facilities are needed to better serve the public.

    Cultural Resources Overview of the Heinz Ranch, South Parcel (approximately 1378 acres) for the Stone Gate Master Planned Community, Washoe County, Nevada Project Number: 2016-110-1 Submitted to: Heinz Ranch Company, LLCt 2999 Oak Road, Suite 400 Walnut Creek, CA 94597 Prepared by: Michael Drews Dayna Giambastiani, MA, RPA Great Basin Consulting Group, LLC. 200 Winters Drive Carson City, Nevada 89703 July7, 2016 G-1 Summary Heinz Ranch was established in 1855 by Frank Heinz, an emigrant from Germany, who together with his wife Wilhelmina, turned it into a profitable cow and calf operation (Nevada Department of Agriculture 2016). In 2004, Heinz Ranch received the Nevada Centennial Ranch and Farm award from the Nevada Department of Agriculture for being an active ranch for over 100 years. A Class II archaeological investigation of the property was conducted in May and June 2016. Several prehistoric archaeological sites have been recorded on the property. Habitation sites hold the potential for additional research and have previously been determined eligible to the National Register of Historic Places. Historic sites relating to mining and transportation along with the ranching landscape are also prominent. Architectural resources on the property consist of several barns, outbuildings and residences. The barns are notable for their method of construction. Many are constructed of hand hewn posts and beams, and assembled with pegged mortise and tenon joinery. They date to the earliest use of the ranch. Residences generally date to the 1930s. Historic sites and resources located on Heinz Ranch provide an opportunity for more scholarly research into the prehistory and history of Cold Springs Valley (also Laughton’s Valley) and the region in general.

  • HISTORY of WASHOE COUNTY Introduction

    HISTORY of WASHOE COUNTY Introduction

    HISTORY OF WASHOE COUNTY Introduction Lying in the northwest portion of the State of Nevada, named for a tribe of American Indians and containing a land area in excess of 6,000 square miles, Washoe County today consists of two of the nine original counties -- Washoe and Lake (later renamed Roop) Counties -- into which the Territory of Nevada was divided by the first territorial legislature in 1861. The country, "a land of contrasts, extremes, and apparent contradictions, of mingled barrenness and fertility, beauty and desolation, aridity and storm,"1 was claimed by the Spanish Empire until 1822 when it became a part of Mexican territory resulting from Mexico's successful war of independence from Spain. Mexico ceded the area to the United States in 1848 following the Mexican War, and the ceded lands remained part of the "unorganized territory" of the United States until 1850. Spanish and Mexican constructive possession probably had little effect on the life styles of the Northern Paiutes and the Washos -- the two American Indian tribes which inhabited the area. The Northern Paiutes ranged over most of Washoe County2 save the series of valleys lying along the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. These valleys were the domain of the Washos, a small, nomadic tribe whose members spoke an alien tongue and from which the name of the county is derived3. The 1840's During the 1840's Washoe County was traversed by a number of trappers and explorers, as well as several well-defined emigrant trails leading to California and Oregon. In 1843 mountain man "Old Bill" Williams4 led his trappers from the Klamath Lake region of California to Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River.

    Winters Ranch

    SNPLMA Round 10 / FLTFA Round 6 Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisition Nomination WINTERS RANCH NARRATIVE STATEMENT Executive Summary Winters Ranch protects some of Nevada’s oldest water rights flowing from Washoe Valley into the Truckee River, and completes the process to protect the land, habitat and water initiated by Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) in 1999. This final Winters Ranch nomination unites entire sections of contiguous BLM SNPLMA lands with the Nevada Department of Wildlife Scripps Wildlife Refuge and U.S. Forest Service SNPLMA lands. This nomination also represents one of the prime habitat areas in southern Washoe County for shorebirds, waterfowl, and other water dependent species. The natural flow of water has created large areas of wet meadow and pasture, as well as the sagebrush steppe, provide vital breeding habitat for birds. Nevada Land Conservancy conducted a field survey of the property to gain an understanding of the conveyance system of natural flow and man-made ditches used to distribute the water over the parcels to insure the beneficial use area described in the water right documents coincide with the parcels acquired. Additionally we evaluated the relationship of the conveyance of water from this proposed acquisition to the existing land acquired under previous SNPLMA acquisitions to the east. Our survey determined that if the Winters Ranch surface water rights are not acquired through Round 10, the Winters Ranch water rights previously acquired in Round 4 will not reach the land to which they are encumbered causing a loss of herbaceous wetland and facultative wetland species. Down gradient parcels to the east could still be irrigated, however, water available for ground-water recharge and flow to Washoe Lake would be reduced by 60%.

    PART IV: THE LACUSTRINE SUBSISTENCE PATTERN IN THE DESERT WEST Lewis K. Napton University of California, Berkeley Archaeological investigation of prehistoric occupation sites located in the Great Basin region of the western United States has dis- closed a long and remarkably detailed record of cultural adaptation in surroundings that have been characterized as one of the New World's harshest environments. The ttrestrictive" aspects of the Great Basin environment have been stressed to such an extent that one has the impression that the entire region was a bone-dry desert occupied only by small groups of Indians who managed to eke out a precarious living by subsisting on an occasional antelope, deer, or mountain sheep, the seeds of various plants, or unpalatable foods such as locusts, ants, gophers, snakes and crickets obtained from the desert biome. This '"marginal" sub- sistence adaptation was the economic basis of a lifeway that seems to have been shared by many inhabitants of the Great Basin (Steward 1938), but it is apparent that the desert-adapted existence has considerable time-depth in the region, for archaeological evidence found in sites such as Danger Cave, in western Utah, conforms to the putative Great Basin economic pattern--a ceaseless struggle to survive in an extremely arid habitat that has apparently remained almost unchanged during the last ten thousand years. A rather different impression of life in the Great Basin may be obtained, however, from study of archaeological sites located in the western part of the basin. Sites excavated or investigated during the last half-century in the Humboldt and Carson Sinks in west-central Nevada give evidence of a regional subsistence pattern that was structured primarily on utilization of the resources found in and near the lakes and marshes located in the "sinks"r or catchment basins of the Carson, Walker, Truckee, and Humboldt Rivers (Fig.

Quadrangle (7S) Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinates: 11/255855/4346540 Significance: The Antonio Sala Barn and Storage Shed are historically significant in the area of agriculture. The property is eligible for listing on the National Register under criterion A, for its lengthy association with the 19th and early 20th century agricultural development of Washoe Valley. The primary historical significance of Washoe Valley is related to its association with the Comstock Mining District and Virginia City. The impetus for the initial agricultural development of the Washoe Valley was the discovery of silver and the subsequent boom of the Comstock mines between 1859 and the mid-1870s. During that period Washoe Valley was the primary source of the rnining district's agricultural products and lumber and became a vital part of the Comstock's silver rush. The Valley also provided the location of the first ore mills that processed the Comstock's silver. The Comstock Mining District of Nevada is significant in United States history for the wealth of gold and silver that was mined and milled there and for the personalities and events associated with that wealth.
