Explore Crescent Valley, Nevada, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Crescent Valley, 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 Crescent Valley.
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.

Crescent Valley occupies a wide, basin-like expanse where the sagebrush plains stretch toward a horizon defined by the distant, jagged silhouette of the Dry Hills. It lies 51.4 miles west-southwest of Elko, NV (from Elko, NV: bearing 236°T), and is situated 24.4 miles southeast of Battle Mountain. The air here holds a thin, crystalline quality, sharpening the edges of the landscape until the ground seems to vibrate under the intense, unrelenting sun. To the north, the terrain gives way to the subtle depressions of Corral Canyon, while the modest flow of Fire Creek carves a thin, verdant ribbon through the alkaline dust. At twilight, the light softens into a bruised lavender, casting long, melancholic shadows that emphasize the vast, empty silence inherent to this high desert floor.
Crescent Valley sustains itself through a rugged, quiet endurance, defined largely by the extractive industries and the persistent, solitary labor of those who work the earth. The rhythm of life here remains tethered to the shifting demands of the region’s mineral wealth and the sparse, resilient agriculture that manages to survive in the arid soil. History lingers in the weathered remnants of old prospectors’ ambitions, scattered like bleached bone across the plains, yet the locality persists as a functional outpost rather than a relic. Each day passes with the steady, unadorned gravity of a place where the scale of the environment renders human endeavor small, yet remarkably defiant against the immense, open sky.

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.
