Duckwater Valley is a valley in Nye County, Nevada. It starts south of the northern border of Nye County, and runs south for a distance of approximately 12 miles (19 km) to Railroad Valley.[1] The Duckwater Valley is enclosed by the Pancake Range in the west and by the Duckwater Hills in the east. The Duckwater Creek crosses the valley. State Route 379 goes partially through the Duckwater Valley as well.[2] The only populated place in the valley is Duckwater. Part of the valley is occupied by the Duckwater Reservation.[3]
