2021 Map of McCoy

About this map

Fish Creek Mountains dominate the western landscape of this Lander County interior, where the high-altitude terrain gives way to the broad depressions of Horseshoe Basin. The settlement of McCoy is positioned at the base of the mountains, serving as a focal point for the historic mining activity that defined this portion of the Great Basin. Access to the area is primarily defined by the Mccoy Mine Rd, which tracks across the flats toward the eastern reaches of the quadrangle. Along the far eastern edge, the ephemeral drainage of the Reese River marks the low point of the valley. The map clearly delineates the township and range system, including t29n r42e and t28n r43e, providing a precise grid for researchers tracking land patents or historic mining claims in this arid mining district.
