Stonemasons from the Alpine valleys of northwestern Italy shaped the architectural face of Paradise Valley in northern Nevada in the 1860s and 1870s. Drawing on their own distinctive skills, they constructed the constellation of granite and sandstone buildings that are the region's most visible landmarks. Marshall's analysis of this architectural legacy, illustrated with 229 photographs and 70 line drawings, is not only a valuable resource for scholars in vernacular architecture, folklore, and cultural geography, but also a verbal and visual treat for all who love the American West.

The objective of this report is to summarize U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supported studies in the Dixie Valley geothermal area and to relate the results of those studies to other, non-DOE-supported studies that have been done in the valley during the past 40 to 50 years. This compilation of past research includes new analysis resulting in a more in-depth understanding of the geothermal system in Dixie Valley. The focus is on the basin geology and structure, thermal regime, and geothermal system geochemistry. Reservoir studies are briefly discussed.
