 NSLA - Historical Myth a Month - A Capital Name: Kit Carson and Carson City
While Fremont named the Carson Lake (Sink) and Carson River in honor of Kit, the explorers did not follow the river through Eagle and Carson Valleys to it's source but veered southward into Mason and Antelope Valleys, then turned north, and eventually crossed the Sierra Nevada just south of Carson pass.
Fremont did not name Carson Valley or Carson Pass, those names would be applied after the publishing of the survey maps in 1848.
We do know the town laid out in Eagle Valley was known as Carson City by September 1858, and whether it was named for the Carson River or Carson County, Utah Territory, created in 1854, or directly for Kit himself, ultimately the naming could be traced to Carson's association with the western Great Basin.
