Exploration and Transportation

Exploration of Nevada's vast territories was undertaken by two government survey teams in the 1850s, although Native Americans and the Spanish, as well as trappers and traders, had established trails long before then. With mining came railroads that crossed the state. The interstate highway system and aviation have been particularly crucial components in the development of gaming and tourism.
