Exact description as reads...

My words:
Eagle Valley is the site of what would become present day Carson City. Eagle Valley was a vital link in land communications nestled between Genoa, Nevada's first settlement, and the Comstock Lode, where all the precious economy lied. The Carson Branch, one of the key routes on the California emigrant trail, came through Eagle Valley just a block east of here.
