2012 Map of Yerington

About this map

Yerington and the surrounding agricultural valley are captured in this 2012 survey, revealing the complex water systems of the Walker River as it splits into East and West forks. The map illustrates the distinct layout of the community of Weed Heights overlooking the valley floor, while the smaller settlement of Mason sits nestled near the river's path. This region of Lyon County is defined by the sharp transition from the irrigated fields of Mason Valley to the arid slopes of the Singatse Range and Singatse Peak. Local infrastructure and social centers are documented throughout, including the Yerington Municipal Airport and the South End Community Hall. The geography highlights how historical ranching sites like Bee Ranch and early nodes like Nordyke were strategically placed along the water's edge below Black Mountain.
