Railroad Valley (Nevada)

Railroad Valley is a valley in east-central Nevada. The valley generally runs in a north-south direction, with some southern areas running southwest to northeast. The southern end of the valley begins near Gray Top Mountain (7,036 feet) and stretches north all the way to Mount Hamilton (10,745 feet). Most of the valley lies in Nye County, but it crosses into White Pine County at the northern end.

The Railroad Valley is home to four separate Wildlife Management Areas, all named "Railroad Valley WMA". Several small communities are located in the valley, including: Currant, Crows Nest, Green Springs, Lockes, and Nyala. The valley is approximately 80 miles in length, and up to 20 miles wide or more in a few places.
