The Washoe County Map & Data WareHouse is where you’ll find data and orthophotography from Washoe County Nevada that is free of charge or available for purchase to use for your research, mapping or spatial analysis needs. The Map WareHouse is provided for non-GIS users and offers a simple user interface. The Data Warehouse is the place to go for imagery.
If your interested in viewing imagery, data on this site consists of 2003 NASA Terra satellite imagery, Landsat 7 satellite scenes taken in late August 2001, 2002 Color and B&W digital ortho photos of urban Washoe County and a transparent 2002 Color digital ortho photo over a 2002 digital elevation model hillshade.
