Nevada Place Names, a Geographical Dictionary by Helen S. Carlson

Description: Author and researcher, Helen Carlson, spent almost 14 years in her search for the origins of Nevada's place names.

It also offers lively reading for anyone curious about the name at the side of the road and the people who lived or worked there.  Published by University of Nevada Press (1974).  282 pages.
