How to Use This Lemmon Valley, Nevada Map

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

About Lemmon Valley, Nevada

Lemmon Valley is a locality in Washoe County, Nevada, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,987. The population density is 120.9 people per km². Lemmon Valley is located at 39.6874°N, 119.8332°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 89506.

Lemmon Valley occupies a stark, expansive basin where the high desert floor meets the wide, unyielding clarity of the Nevada sky. It lies 4.5 miles northwest of Sun Valley, NV (from Sun Valley, NV: bearing 308°T), and is situated 7.5 miles north-northwest of Reno. Scrub brush and hardy sage cling to the arid soil, while the distant, jagged silhouette of the Sierra Nevada marks the horizon like a serrated blade against the fading light. To the north, the terrain rises toward Kelly Ravine, a subtle indentation in the earth that catches the occasional sweep of wind, while the persistent, thin thread of Peavine Creek traces its path through the landscape five miles away. The air here carries a dry, metallic sharpness, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats and leaving the valley in a hushed, monochromatic stillness that feels both ancient and indifferent.

Lemmon Valley emerged as a quiet outlier to the region's broader cycles of boom and industry, developing its character through a blend of residential sprawl and the utilitarian rhythm of commuters. Residents often find their way to the Lemmon Valley Trails, a local resource that invites a slow, deliberate movement across the dusty terrain, grounding those who walk its paths in the quiet reality of the Great Basin. While the economic pulse of the region often flickers in the distant glow of urban centers, life here remains defined by the vastness of the surrounding plains and the practical necessity of navigating such a sprawling, open environment. The history of the land is written not in grand monuments, but in the enduring resilience of those who favor the solitude of the high desert over the clamor of more densely packed settlements.

About This Lemmon Valley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lemmon Valley, Nevada. Coordinates: 39.687444, -119.833195. 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 Lemmon Valley includes the ZIP code (89506), telephone area code (775), county seat of Washoe County (Reno), and school district assignment (Washoe 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.
