2011 Map of Fernley West

About this map

The Truckee River carves a path through the northern reaches of this Lyon County landscape, where the agricultural legacy of the Fernley area meets modern transportation infrastructure. In the early 21st century, the expansion of the western high desert is evident in the residential developments of Fernley Valley, while the vital Truckee Canal and K2B Canal continue to manage water across the arid terrain. The map traces the corridor of Interstate 80, showing major transit points like the Painted Rock Interchange and the Wadsworth-Pyramid Lake Interchange. Local landmarks such as the Fernley Post Office and Tiger Field Airport mark the community's civic and aviation hubs. Further west, the settlement of Gilpin and the Smith Ranch indicate the historical mix of ranching and roadside waypoints that have long defined this part of the Nevada desert.
