2018 Map of Vya

About this map

Vya serves as the primary landmark in this remote corner of northwest Nevada, situated at the intersection of C R 34 and Co Rte 8a. The landscape is dominated by the wide expanse of Long Valley, which is punctuated by seasonal hydrologic features like Fortynine Lake and Central Lake. The high-desert terrain is defined by the steep rises of the Hays Canyon Range in the southwest and the Black Hills to the east, illustrating a classic Great Basin basin-and-range topography. Small water sources such as Twin Springs and the intermittent flows of Secret Cr and S Cr suggest the vital role of water management in this arid cattle-country environment. The network of secondary roads, including Dugway RD, highlights the connectivity required for ranching and resource management across these expansive townships.
