Explore Fish Springs, 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 Fish Springs, 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 Fish Springs.
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.

Fish Springs emerges from the high desert floor as a quiet confluence of arid earth and the vast, unobstructed sky. It lies 6.6 miles northeast of Gardnerville Ranchos, NV (from Gardnerville Ranchos, NV: bearing 47°T), and is situated 7.6 miles south-southeast of Johnson Lane. The landscape is defined by the expansive, open reach of Fish Spring Flat, where the pale sagebrush catches the low light of the afternoon, casting long shadows that stretch toward the jagged, snow-dusted silhouette of the Sierra Nevada on the western horizon. Pine Nut Creek traces a thin, life-giving line through the basin, its presence marked by the deepening green of resilient grasses that contrast sharply with the sun-bleached expanse. The air here holds a distinct, dry clarity, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the distant peaks, leaving the ground to exhale the warmth it gathered throughout the day.
History in Fish Springs remains quiet, written in the weathered fence lines and the slow, deliberate pace of life that persists far from the neon pulse of distant urban centers. The local economy maintains a steady connection to the land, rooted in agricultural traditions that have long adapted to the lean moisture of the basin. Residents often find their recreation in the open spaces, whether taking a short drive to visit Stodick Park or observing the still, reflective surface of Dangberg Reservoir Number Four as the light shifts into shades of lavender and bruised gold. While the Carson Ranger District waits further to the north, the immediate character of Fish Springs is found in the stillness of the high plains, where the passage of time is measured not by clocks, but by the slow rotation of the seasons across the basin.

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.
