Explore Fallon, 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 Fallon, 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 Fallon.
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.

Fallon emerges from the high desert floor as an island of resilience within the vast, arid expanse of the Great Basin. It lies 26.9 miles east-southeast of Fernley, NV (from Fernley, NV: bearing 110°T), and is situated 24.2 miles east of Silver Springs. Sunlight here possesses a singular, crystalline quality, casting long shadows across the flat plains that stretch toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the Sierra Nevada. To the west, the Lahontan Valley cradles the surrounding earth, while the L Line Canal marks the land with a slender, life-giving ribbon of moisture. Those who wander toward the S Line Reservoir find a quiet stillness where the water reflects the immense, unclouded sky. Even the Twenty Six Foot Drop serves as a reminder of the water’s persistent journey through this dry, sage-scented domain.
Agriculture remains the bedrock of Fallon, shaping the rhythm of the seasons through rows of alfalfa and fields that defy the surrounding parched climate. Generations have labored in this soil, transforming the dust of the valley into a productive landscape that defines the local economy and identity. The legacy of the Old California Trail still whispers through the terrain, marking the path of those who once sought a future further toward the setting sun. Industry here is pragmatic and steady, anchored by a deep connection to the land and the resources provided by the irrigation networks. Fallon maintains a character forged by hard work, where the labor of the harvest dictates the pace of the year more than the ticking of a clock.
Oats Park stands as a center for the spirit of Fallon, providing a green refuge where the community gathers beneath the shade of mature trees. The town hosts the annual Fallon Cantaloupe Festival, a tradition that celebrates the unique sweetness grown in the local mineral-rich earth. This cultural landscape is marked by a quiet, enduring pride, reflected in the preservation of historic architecture and the maintenance of public spaces. While the pace of life remains deliberate, the influence of the town reaches outward through individuals like the legendary musician and songwriter Merle Haggard, who spent his formative years in the region. Such figures carry the dust and the determination of the desert with them, leaving an indelible mark on the broader American narrative.

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.
