| Description | Historic maps of Nevada are scarce and found in only a few of the state's repositories of cultural heritage. In the earliest maps Nevada, along with much of the Western Hemisphere, was originally identified, if at all, as 'terra incognita - unknown land. This collection of historic maps was selected by age, condition, and how well they would be presented on a web site, in addition to their general representation of the development and settlement of the area which became the state of Nevada. |
