Reno may be “The Biggest Little City in the World” now… In 1862 before Reno was Reno it was known as Lakes Crossing. In Part 2 of this 3 part series we learn a little more about Myron Lake and the Central Pacific’s plan to make a town.
This weeks #mapadventures will take you on a #journey back to 1862, when Myron Lake acquired a road, a bridge and a little inn by the Truckee River. #history really comes alive as we discover the events that led to the Central Pacific choice to put a new train station at Lake’s Crossing.
