2021 Map of Mason Butte

About this map

The Mason Valley agriculture and terrain south of the state highway corridor come into sharp focus here, centered on the prominent rise of Mason Butte. This region of Lyon County is defined by a complex network of irrigation and drainage essential to desert farming, including the W Campbell Ditch, Wabuska Drain, and Nichols-Merritt Ditch. The Walker River meanders through the eastern portion of the map, while the western edge is dominated by the steep elevations of the Singatse Range and Carson Hill. Near the southern boundary, the outskirts of Yerington appear alongside the Yerington Municipal Airport. The layout of rural roads like Farrell Ln and Campbell Ln illustrates the grid-based land management and ranching homesteads that characterize this part of Nevada.
