The South Valleys Area Plan would become part of the Washoe County Master Plan. A large number of volunteers from West Washoe Valley, East Washoe Valley, Pleasant Valley, and Galena/Steamboat areas included business owners and residents. They worked with agencies, organizations, and Washoe County Planners. Draft plans were reviewed and discussed over the next six years. The final plan was adopted in September 2010. Washoe County Parks suggested that citizens apply for designation of a Nevada State Scenic Byway in Washoe Valley. Volunteers from the Washoe Valley Working Group and Scenic Nevada completed the application that described the Scenic, Natural, and Cultural features as well as the Economic Development and Transportation assessment along every segment of the twenty- mile drive around Washoe Valley. The completed eighty- page application included maps and photographs for each assessment category. After many public meetings and consultation with all interest groups, the Washoe Valley Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan was completed. Nevada Department of Transportation’s Director, Susan Martinovich, officially announced the Washoe Valley Scenic Byway designation on February 25,2010 with Governor Jim Gibbons. Cheryl Surface, Washoe County Parks Planner, and representatives of the Washoe Valley Working Group and Scenic Nevada were present. With the guidance of key founder, Carol Christensen, Washoe Valley Alliance, a Nevada non-profit 501 (c) (3) was established and incorporated in March 2013. “Protecting Washoe Valley’s Unique Qualities through Education and Stewardship.” Carol Christensen Gary Houk Retired from Desert Research Institute President Nevada Land Conservancy Volunteer Local Business Owner Thank you to Courtney Meredith, Chris Meredith and Tucker Monticelli of Design on Edge for their generous donation of an amazing amount of time in the development of the Washoe Valley Alliance website and the Nevada State Washoe Valley Scenic Byway brochure. www.washoevalleyalliance.org The first Celebrate Washoe Valley was May 2014 at Washoe Lake State Park.

  • 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%.

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.
