Its northern boundary was the 42nd Parallel and its eastern boundary the 39th Meridian west of Washington, DC. Along the 35th Parallel it bounded the Territory of New Mexico (later Arizona). Its intended western boundary was the crest of the Sierra Nevada, to which California, admitted to the Union in 1850, didn't consent. In July 1862 Congress moved Nevada's east boundary to the 38th Meridian west of Washington, DC. The Greenwich Meridian hadn't come into universal use and longitude from Washington doesn't match that from Greenwich. Therefore Nevada's eastern line is not at an even degree of longitude. The Washington Meridian would remain in use for land surveys in the U.S. until 1912. Nevada entered the Union in 1864 with its 1862 boundaries. U.S. Senator William M. Stewart introduced legislation to make Nevada's southern boundary the Colorado River and its eastern boundary the 37th Meridian, carving another degree of longitude from Utah. Stewart's bill passed in May 1866 over the objections of the Delegate from Utah Territory. In July 1870 Congress appropriated $17,000 for a survey of Nevada's eastern boundary.

  • Before It Was a Park
    BEFORE IT WAS A PARK Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park and its Foundations in Comstock History Nevada Division of State Parks In honor of Nevada’s 150th anniversary 1864 to 2014 By Jay Howard, LTNSP 2014, revised 2017 A State Made by Mining Ron James wrote in his Comstock history novel The Roar and the Silence, “It was the longest telegraph ever sent, but Nevadan’s did not intend to do things in a small way. With the paperwork in order, Lincoln signed Nevada into statehood on October 31st 1864, just a few days before the November presidential election. Nevada sent back a thank-you in the form of three electoral votes for the president’s reelection.” Nevadan’s were proud of their pro-Union stance during the Civil War. Needed by the United States both politically and economically, the state of Nevada was said to have been ‘Battle Born’. Though we understand this to refer to the battles that had been raging in the east since 1861, Nevada was itself a relatively peaceful territory, other than the occasional skirmishes with Native Americans, and the more serious Pyramid Lake War of 1860. Nevadan’s never saw any fighting with Confederate forces, but certainly had their share of fistfights between Unionists and Copperheads. The latter usually losing the argument. During one incident, the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy was raised over a building in Virginia City, which led to a serious altercation between townspeople. Newspapers later reported that Unionists emerged bloody, but victorious. Early in the Civil War there was some concern that Nevada could be taken by the Confederacy, but these fears were never realized.

  • Timber for the Comstock
    In October 2008, the Society of American Foresters will hold its convention in Reno, Nevada. Attendees can visit nearby Virginia City, the home of America’s first major “silver rush,” the Comstock Lode. Virginia City was built over one of North America’s largest silver deposits and a “forest of underground timbers.” Demand for timber was satisfied by the large forest at the upper elevations of the Sierra Nevada, especially around Lake Tahoe. After discussing historical background, this article offers a short forest history tour based on Nevada historical markers and highlighting Lake Tahoe logging history. TIMBER FOR THE COMSTOCK old was discovered in western Nevada around 1850 by prospectors on their way to California. In early 1859, James Finney and a small group of G prospectors discovered the first indications of silver ore near present-day Virginia City. Later that year other prospectors located the ledge of a major gold lode. Fellow prospector Henry Comstock claimed the ledge Over the next twenty years, the 21⁄2-mile deposit of high-grade as being on his property and soon gained an interest in the area, ore would produce nearly $400 million in silver and gold, create and the strike became known as the Comstock Lode.

  • The Washoe People and Lake Tahoe Landscapes
    University of Nevada, Reno The Washoe, Tourism and Lake Tahoe Landscapes: Examining Reciprocal Effects Between Washoe Cultural Heritage and Tourism A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilments of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography by Catherine E. Magee Dr. Kate A. Berry/Dissertation Advisor May, 2015 © Copyright by Catherine Elizabeth Magee, 2015 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by CATHERINE E. MAGEE Entitled The Washoe, Tourism and Lake Tahoe Landscapes: Examining Reciprocal Effects Between Washoe Cultural Heritage and Tourism be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Kate Berry, PhD, Advisor Victoria Randlett, PhD, Committee Member Donald Hardesty, PhD, Committee Member Chandra Reedy, PhD, Committee Member C. Elizabeth Raymond, PhD, Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2015 i Abstract This research examines the cultural heritage landscape as both representing and the medium through which tourism influences cultural heritage production and preservation. It explores the reciprocal effect between tourism and the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, looking at the landscapes of Lake Tahoe that embody and reflect this relationship. Lake Tahoe is examined as a large, single landscape and smaller landscapes within it, Tahoe City, Cave Rock, the Tallac area and Meeks Bay; all represent Washoe and Euro-American landscape formation processes through time. This research introduces and employs the reciprocity of tourism model and the hybrid tourist/cultural heritage landscape as methods to examine complex relationships represented in the Lake Tahoe landscapes. The reciprocity of tourism model engages the reciprocal relationships between tourism and cultural heritage by examining five factors, representation, identity, production, practice and agency, allowing for the interconnected multi-dimensionality of this relationship to be more fully represented.
