How to Use This Panaca, Nevada Map

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

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 Panaca, Nevada

Panaca is a locality in Lincoln County, Nevada, United States. It is a small community with a population of 870. The population density is 109.1 people per km². Panaca is located at 37.7881°N, 114.4005°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 89042.

Panaca reveals itself as a quiet expanse of high desert, defined by the amber light that pools in the low basins as the sun begins its long descent. It lies 70.3 miles north-northwest of Mesquite, NV (from Mesquite, NV: bearing 346°T), and is situated 58.0 miles northwest of Ivins. The earth here is a palette of pale ochre and sun-bleached dust, framed by the jagged, austere silhouette of The Little Hogback to the west. Nearby, the landscape breaks into the dramatic, eroded spires of Cathedral Gorge, where the wind has carved the soft earth into intricate, vertical labyrinths that shimmer in shades of cream and rose. Water remains a precious, deliberate presence in this arid climate, channeled through the modest path of Meadow Valley Wash, which sustains the greenery that defies the surrounding sagebrush plains.

Panaca was established by early pioneers who recognized the potential of the local springs, grounding the settlement in a tradition of agriculture and steady, self-reliant industry. The rhythm of life in Panaca remains tied to the seasonal cycles of the fields and the slow, deliberate pace of a rural outpost that has maintained its character for generations. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the geological history of the region is laid bare in the nearby Cathedral Gorge State Park, while the waters of Echo Canyon Reservoir provide a rare, still reflection of the wide, cloud-swept sky. The economy persists through a quiet dedication to farming and ranching, reflecting a community that values the enduring quiet of the desert over the restlessness of the modern world.

About This Panaca Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Panaca, Nevada. Coordinates: 37.788116, -114.400539. 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 Panaca includes the ZIP code (89042), telephone area code (702, 725), county seat of Lincoln County (Pioche), and school district assignment (Lincoln 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.
