Description

Decorative map of Nevada, published for the Nevada Department of Highways and drawn by map illustrator Gerald Eddy.

Eddy is perhaps best known for his maps of Lake Tahoe, which is also shown on this map.

The map provides a fine topographical image of Nevada, including lakes, rivers, mountains, deserts, snow covered peaks, etc. The primary focus of the map is to locate highways and points of interest.

A fine example of this scarce map.
