Yerington and the surrounding Mason Valley are defined by a complex network of agricultural irrigation in this 2018 survey. The Walker River and its fork, the East Walker River, feed numerous man-made waterways such as McLeod Ditch, Spragg-Woodcock Ditch, and Woods Ditch, which support the valley floor. To the west, the arid Singatse Range rises sharply, featuring landmarks like Singatse Peak, Newhouse Peak, and the geological cut of The Canyon. The map details the transition from the high desert terrain of Mickey Pass to the structured grid of settlements at Weed Heights, Mason, and Nordyke. Genealogists and local historians can trace specific residential developments along named routes like Quilici Ln and Hells Bells Rd, or locate the Yerington Cem east of the city center. The presence of the Yerington Municipal Airport and various industrial sidings reflects the modern economic infrastructure of this historic Nevada mining and ranching hub.
