  • 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.

  • Drought, Hauck Says Drought Reserves Are in Pretty Good Shape, but It Has Taken Its Toll on Area Reservoirs

(MyNews4.com & KRNV) -- Water conservation numbers for the month of August were released by the Truckee Meadows Water Authority on Tuesday; and while August's reduction in use slipped slightly, overall conservation efforts exceeded desired targets. In an official statement, TMWA officials said customers reduced their water usage by nine percent system-wide for the month of August, compared to August 2013. Officials went on and said customer demand has fallen an average of 13 percent since May 2015 when TMWA began asking its customers for a voluntary 10 percent reduction in water use. “We set a savings goal of 5,000 acre feet of water for this season, which we are storing in upstream reservoirs for later use, if needed” said Mark Foree, TMWA’s general manager, in a statement. “With our customers’ continued focus on water conservation, I’m confident we will exceed that goal in September. Please keep up the good work and finish strong through this irrigation season. Remember, every gallon you save now can be held in upstream reservoirs, and will put us in good shape for next year,” he added. Factoring in the nine percent savings in August, approximately 4,800 acre-feet or 1.5 billion gallons of water has been saved by customers through the first four months of TMWA’s conservation campaign, official said.

  • 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%.

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.

  • EARL MP LOVEJOY Department of Geology, the University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, Texas Mount Rose, Northern Carson Range
    EARL M. P. LOVEJOY Department of Geology, The University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, Texas Mount Rose, Northern Carson Range, Nevada: New Light on the Late Cenozoic Tectonic History of the Sierra Nevada from a Classic Locality Abstract: The eastern border of the northern Carson Range, at Mount Rose, is important for the study of regional Sierran tectonic and faulting chronology. There Louderback indicated that more than 5000 feet of post-Miocene-Pliocene displacements occurred along the eastern front of the Carson Range at the Mount Rose cross section. He concluded that the entire Carson Range (hence the Sierra) was uplifted as a block along that frontal fault in post-late Miocene time. The structural evidence at Mount Rose has been re-examined. It may be reinterpreted as the result of formation of a strato-volcano over a rough terrain, and its subsequent deep erosion, as contrasted with the earlier interpretation involving major fault displacement after agglomerate and flow deposition. The new structural evidence and interpretation indicates that there has been little significant faulting along the Sierra Nevada front at Mount Rose since Miocene- Pliocene volcanism.
