Valmy sits along Interstate 80 in north-central Nevada's Humboldt County, about 20 miles east of Winnemucca. Just 26 people call this 96-square-mile territory home, yet local businesses employ 625 workers. That ratio tells the story: Valmy is a mining operations hub. Lone Tree Mine Road leads to gold mining operations that draw workers from surrounding communities.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the territory. The post office maintains 35 PO Boxes for 11 households, a 3.2x adoption rate. Mining workers, equipment suppliers, and operations staff from miles around rely on this small post office for mail.

Street names confirm the industrial character: Lone Tree Mine Rd, W Valmy Frontage Rd, and I 80 W Exit 216 define the landscape. General Delivery is available for temporary workers.
