Fort Sage was a garrison occupied in the early 1870's on the Reno-Fort Bidwell road. Fort Sage was located "46 miles north of Reno"[1] "between State Line Peak and the Virginia Mountains."[1]

Pendelton states that rock foundations found 5 km. southwest of the Fort Sage Drift Fence at Miller Spring could be the ruins of Fort Sage.[2]
