Battle Mountain Info
Interstate 80 Info

Located in the heart of northern Nevada, midway between Winnemucca and Elko, Battle Mountain is the seat of Lander County and home to 2,999 residents (always room for one more!). It is a small community deriving its economy from mining and ranching. There is one major power generation facility at this time with plans to establish another within the next several months. The area is also being studied for possible solar generation projects. It offers year-round access to vast public lands where residents and travelers alike can hike, camp, hunt, and fish without ever seeing another soul.

Battle Mountain is home to a thriving community of descendants of Basque pioneers who celebrate their heritage with a festival each winter and a come-one, come-all picnic each summer.
