ROUND MOUNTAIN/SMOKY VALLEY UNINCORPORATED TOWN Established in 1906 LOCATION: South central Nevada AREA: 64 square miles AVERAGE ELEVATION: 6300 feet Big Smoky Valley is as diverse as it is beautiful. Land use includes farming, ranching, mining and retail operations. In the center of farm and ranch land sits the Hadley Subdivision of Round Mountain which includes a fire station, residential area, air strip, community center, modern K -12 schools, library, gymnasium, public indoor swimming pool, gas station, grocery store and golf course. This completely planned community was built by Round Mountain Gold Corporation (RMGC). The original Round Mountain townsite, located within several miles of the new subdivision, remains home to several area residents. The golf course is Nevada’s longest 9-hole facility, complete with restaurant, lounge and pro shop. Abutting the golf course is land suitable for a hotel or motel. The golf course and other RMGC-owned retail facilities and land are coming on the market as part of the mine’s privatization plan, which will ensure economic stability in the region for many years. A short distance from Round Mountain is the hamlet of Carver’s which includes a small business district containing retail shops, florist, dining and repair shops. Large parcels of land, suitable for warehousing or light manufacturing are available in the valley. The Tonopah Aeronautics and Technology Park is less than 50 miles south. AREA INFORMATION |
