How to Use This Imlay, Nevada Map

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

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 Imlay, Nevada

Imlay is a locality in Pershing County, Nevada, United States. It is a small community with a population of 210. The population density is 68.6 people per km². Imlay is located at 40.6607°N, 118.1504°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 89418.

Imlay emerges from the high desert floor as a stark collection of sun-bleached structures pinned against the vast, pale expanse of the Great Basin. It lies 93.1 miles northeast of Fernley, NV (from Fernley, NV: bearing 38°T), and is situated 30.6 miles southwest of Winnemucca. The landscape is defined by the rugged, arid slopes of the Rocky Mountains, which rise abruptly to frame the horizon in jagged, volcanic silhouettes. A short distance away, the Humboldt River carves a narrow, verdant vein through the alkaline dust, providing a singular focus for the local flora that clings to the parched earth. During the quiet transition of dusk, the air thins and cools with remarkable speed, turning the sagebrush a deep, melancholic violet while the sky stretches out in a wide, unblinking clarity that seems to swallow the very concept of distance.

History lingers in Imlay as a ghost of the transcontinental expansion, where the remnants of a once-active rail corridor still dictate the slow, deliberate pulse of the daily routine. Economic life here remains tied to the resilient rhythms of the land, drawing sustenance from the nearby Rye Patch State Recreation Area and the modest agricultural efforts that lean upon the waters of the Rye Patch Reservoir. Travelers occasionally pause to acknowledge the silence of the region, perhaps catching a glimpse of the terrain that once challenged those who navigated the Old Idaho Stage Road toward the promise of the West. Beyond the edge of the inhabited grid, the silence of Prince Royal Canyon deepens the sense of isolation, reminding those who pass through that Imlay exists as a solitary outpost in a landscape that has always demanded a quiet, stoic endurance.

About This Imlay Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Imlay, Nevada. Coordinates: 40.660739, -118.150421. 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 Imlay includes the ZIP code (89418), telephone area code (775), county seat of Pershing County (Lovelock), 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.
