2011 Map of McCoy

About this map

McCoy serves as the primary landmark in this corner of Lander County, situated within a landscape defined by the drainage patterns leading toward the Reese River. The topographic detail shows the arid terrain typical of central Nevada, where the sparse road network is anchored by McCoy Mine Rd as it cuts across the eastern reaches of the quadrangle. To the south, the natural topography is marked by the broad depression of Horseshoe Basin, a name suggesting the specific local relief that defines this ranching and mining country. The presence of the river on the eastern edge indicates the seasonal water flow that historically governed movement and settlement in this high-desert environment during the early 21st century.
