How to Use This Valmy, Nevada Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Valmy, 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 Valmy.
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 Valmy, Nevada
Valmy is a locality in Humboldt County, Nevada, United States. It is a small community with a population of 26. The population density is 45.6 people per km². Valmy is located at 40.7927°N, 117.1268°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 89438.Valmy unfolds across a high, arid expanse where the persistent wind carries the scent of sun-warmed sagebrush and dry earth. It lies 71.4 miles west of Elko, NV (from Elko, NV: bearing 268°T), and is situated 14.5 miles northwest of Battle Mountain. Trout Creek carves a shallow, quiet path through the basin floor, its bed often reduced to a gravelly trace that mirrors the muted tones of the surrounding scrubland. To the west, the silhouette of Lone Tree Hill rises against the sky, a solitary sentinel watching over the vast, open plains that stretch toward the horizon. The light here possesses a particular clarity, sharpening the edges of the distant, hazy ridges and casting long, indigo shadows that pull across the desert floor as the afternoon wanes into a deep, silent violet.
Valmy remains a place defined by the heavy, rhythmic pulse of industry and the endurance of those who work the land. The local economy draws its strength from the deep strata beneath the surface, a legacy that echoes the industrial labor of earlier times when the railroad and mining interests first anchored the region to the map. Residents navigate the wide, quiet spaces between the scattered structures, looking toward the distant Snow Gulch or the infrequent recreation found at Unknown Park as markers in their daily navigation of the high desert. Life in Valmy moves with the deliberate pace of a long-distance traveler, grounded in the reality of a landscape that demands self-reliance and offers little to those who do not appreciate the stark, unadorned beauty of the Great Basin.

About This Valmy Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Valmy, Nevada. Coordinates: 40.792685, -117.126775. 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 Valmy includes the ZIP code (89438), telephone area code (775), county seat of Humboldt County (Winnemucca), and school district assignment (Humboldt 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.
