Wadsworth

Tucked along the Truckee River in western Nevada’s high desert, Wadsworth is a place whose character is shaped by a narrow water corridor through an otherwise arid basin. The community lies within the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation, and the river continues north toward Pyramid Lake, its terminal lake and a place of enduring importance to the Northern Paiute people. Wadsworth developed as a Central Pacific Railroad division point in the late 19th century, giving this small settlement a lasting connection to the transcontinental rail route. Sagebrush country and broad basin terrain define the surrounding setting. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare river corridors and desert settings around western Nevada.
