Battle Mountain

Battle Mountain runs along the Humboldt River in north-central Nevada, and its position on this long desert corridor has made it a practical road, rail and mining-service town. The community is the seat of Lander County and lies beside Interstate 80, one of the principal east–west routes across the Great Basin. Sagebrush flats, open valleys and isolated mountain ranges define the wider setting, while the Humboldt brings a narrow ribbon of riparian ground through an otherwise dry environment. Gold mining remains important to the local economy, continuing northern Nevada’s longstanding mining tradition.
