View On High

The Nevada State Library and Archives (NSLA) has more than a few pictures of Old Nevada from way up there.  Here’s a compilation of some taken around Eagle Valley. All photos courtesy of the NSLA:

Real old Carson City. The legend says this is 1875.

A very high view of Carson.
Way Up There

Carson City from the southeast looking northwest. Possibly from the same John Nulty set that produced this picture:
Carson City - SE to NW

The south end of town. Fifth Street is going off to the left and today’s Highway 395 is going straight up (south). South Curry Street is snaking around the base of C Hill.

Carson City and Lake Tahoe taken from the east side looking west.

Almost the same shot, except check out the snow on the hills. Photo credit says: “photographed at 13,500 ft. by ADRIAN ATWATER - April 28, 1969.”
Snow on Dem Hills

Another east shot, though much lower. Could those buildings in the foreground center be an apartment complex?
