2011 Map of Mason Butte

About this map

Mason Valley is defined by the winding course of the Walker River as it flows northward through the heart of Lyon County. By the early 21st century, this landscape represents a complex blend of agricultural tradition and modern infrastructure. The presence of the L - M Feedlot and numerous ranches like Poli Ranch underscores the area's continued reliance on the valley's fertile corridor. Small residential clusters and crossroads, such as Greenville, Campbell, and McGowan Corner, anchor the local community between the prominent heights of Mason Butte and McLeod Hill. To the south, the Yerington Municipal Airport serves as a vital transportation link, while the Fort Churchill Cooling Ponds in the northeast corner highlight the intersection of water resources and utility infrastructure in the Nevada desert.
