The toughest county in Nevada.

With less than 1,000 residents, Esmeralda is the least populated county in a state known for desolation and solitude. Abutting the White Mountains, there are no incorporated towns, no building codes, no large stores, minimal services, minimal emergency services, and thousands of square miles of open space.

Fish Lake Valley is located on the far North Western section of Esmeralda. It borders California and contains the unincorporated town of Dyer, NV.
