 Pyramid Lake, Nevada
A panoramic view of Pyramid Lake, 30 miles northeast of Reno, in Western Nevada.  Some of the chiefs shown in the superimposition are now residents of Nixon on the south east shore of the lake.  The lake has 600 foot high pyramid which prompted John Charles Fremont early day pathfinder to give the body of water it's name.

 Virginia and Truckee Train.   Carson City, Nevada.
The Virginia and Truckee Railway played an important part in Nevada's history.  More gold was shipped in its cars than on any other narrow-gauge railroad in the country.  It was discontinued in 1949.
