List of Idaho – Nevada Bordering Towns

No towns meet the criteria for “Idaho – Nevada Bordering Towns.”

Note the Idaho–Nevada state line does not pass through any incorporated towns. Expect long stretches of federal land, tribal reservation, ranches, and empty desert along the border. Settle your search on nearby communities instead of expecting towns that sit exactly on the state line.

Understand why the exact rule produces an empty result. The border follows survey lines and remote terrain. Many places along it are public land, national forest edges, or the Duck Valley Shoshone‑Paiute Reservation. Small settlements and ranches sit back from the line. Historic mining camps or ghost towns exist in the region, but they do not count as modern, incorporated towns that directly touch the border. Major roads — for example US‑93 near Jackpot, Nevada — serve border travelers, but towns are usually a mile or more from the legal boundary.

Explore close alternatives and useful categories instead. Look at towns that sit near the border (for example Jackpot, NV, just south of the line) or communities on the Duck Valley Reservation that lie along the boundary. Study county seats and settlements in Idaho’s Owyhee and Twin Falls counties and Nevada’s Elko and Humboldt/Madison‑area counties. Use maps, state DOT resources, and GNIS/Census data to find places within a set mile radius (for example “within 5 miles of the border”) or to list border crossings, reservation communities, and notable ghost towns for travel and research.
