How to Use This Grass Valley, Nevada Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Grass 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 Grass 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.

Grass Valley occupies a wide, arid basin where the high desert air thins under a relentless, sun-bleached sky. It lies 95.5 miles southwest of Elko, NV (from Elko, NV: bearing 215°T), and is situated 95.6 miles southwest of Spring Creek. Skull Creek carves a shallow, intermittent path through the sagebrush, its bed often dry and silver-toned, mirroring the pale, dusty earth that dominates the horizon. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Toiyabe Range provides a jagged, charcoal-colored boundary against the atmospheric haze, while the nearby slopes of Water Canyon offer a stark, vertical contrast to the flat, scrub-covered plains. At dusk, the light here possesses a heavy, amber quality that softens the harsh edges of the landscape, turning the brush into a sea of muted violet and deep bronze.

History in Grass Valley remains etched into the silence of the abandoned mining claims and the weathered remains of early homesteads that once sought prosperity from the stubborn, mineral-rich ground. The local economy persists through a quiet, hard-won resilience, tied to the rhythms of ranching and the slow, deliberate movement of livestock across the vast, open range. Just five miles away, the Simpson Park Wilderness Study Area preserves a segment of this rugged wilderness, a testament to the enduring, lonely character of the Great Basin. Life here proceeds without the noise of modern excess, favoring a steady, unadorned pace that recognizes the land’s capacity to both provide and withhold, leaving those who remain to find their own measure of peace within the immense, empty expanse.

About This Grass Valley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Grass Valley, Nevada. Coordinates: 40.797081, -117.760261. 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 Grass Valley includes the ZIP code (89310, 89445), telephone area code (702, 725, 775), county seat of Lander County (Battle Mountain), and school district assignment (Pershing 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.
