How to Use This Battle Mountain, Nevada Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Battle Mountain, Nevada. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Nevada or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Battle Mountain.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Battle Mountain, Nevada
Battle Mountain is a locality in Lander County, Nevada, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,705. The population density is 234.0 people per km². Battle Mountain is located at 40.6284°N, 116.9486°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 89820.Battle Mountain rises from the high desert floor like a stubborn assertion against the vast, sage-colored expanse of the Great Basin. It lies 62.7 miles west-southwest of Elko, NV (from Elko, NV: bearing 258°T), and is situated 47.7 miles east-southeast of Winnemucca. The air here is thin and brittle, stripped of moisture by the rain shadow of western peaks, leaving the landscape exposed in a sharp, unforgiving clarity. To the south, the singular silhouette of Elephant Head looms against the horizon, its craggy profile watching over the quiet reaches of Stony Point Meadow. Only a mile away, the Reese River cuts a thin, winding ribbon through the alkali dust, an intermittent pulse of water that barely softens the arid grip of the basin. Within the town limits, Lion'S Park offers a rare patch of managed green, a modest sanctuary where the heat of the afternoon yields to the cooling shadows of dusk.
Gold and copper have long defined the temperament of Battle Mountain, anchoring the economy to the deep, silent veins of the earth. The rhythm of daily life is measured by the heavy haul of ore trucks and the steady, iron cadence of the railroad that bisects the valley, a constant reminder of a frontier history rooted in transit and extraction. While the prospectors of earlier decades have largely retreated into the annals of local lore, the persistent labor of the mines remains the silent engine of the place. Those who stay find a quiet endurance in the high-desert light, which turns the surrounding gray-green scrub to a bruised, violet hue as the sun dips low. Travelers passing through might see only the dust and the long, lonely stretch of highway, yet Battle Mountain holds a stillness born of isolation, where the vastness of the sky commands a respect that few other places can claim.

About This Battle Mountain Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Battle Mountain, Nevada. Coordinates: 40.628371, -116.948553. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Battle Mountain includes the ZIP code (89820), telephone area code (775), county seat of Lander County (Battle Mountain), and school district assignment (Lander County School District).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
