Open Plaques is quite smart. When a few plaques have been geolocated it will use the average to define where this area is.

If you would like to see the map a bit sooner then you could help us.

Just find 'Stateline, NV, United States' on Google Maps and tell us the .

We will extract the geolocation. Probably.

Carson Valley. Carson Valley below, now a broad expanse of cultivated and pasture lands, was originally a strip of meadow along the banks of the river where 49’ers, following the California branch of the Emigrant Trail, rested their stock and bought vegetables from the Mormon Station owners.After discovery of the Comstock Lode (1858) settlers extended the natural meadows by irrigation to provide hay, meat and butter for the miners in Virginia City and neighboring towns.From 1870, German, Danish and Swiss immigrants enlarged the area still more to supply produce to booming Bodie and, after 1905, to supply Tonopah and Goldfield.Good range and agricultural practices have allowed Carson Valley to continue to be one of Nevada’s finest agricultural areas.
