It was placed in Hazen to make it easy for the road traveler.
Hazen was established in 1903 to house the laborers working on the Newlands Irrigation Project. That project was established to help protect the nation's interests in the West by encouraging farmers and ranchers to settle in the Lahontan Valley. The plan was to reclaim the desert by diverting the waters from the Carson and Truckee Rivers for agricultural and ranching uses. Water rights were sold to settlers in the valley and the land soon became home to lush farms and ranches that stretched on for miles. Those farms and ranches remain a vital part of the area's personality and economy. They are testimony to the determination of the men and women that settled in the Lahontan Valley.
HAZEN is a welcome site to travelers heading east on Alternate U.S. 50 toward Fallon.
Have fun, happy caching;
