Retrieved October 1, 2026. Mound House is the first community east of Carson City on US 50 and the first one in Lyon County. No town on our list is closer to the trucks. ## Where does Mound House sit? Mound House is on the high ground between two valleys. Its center point is at about 4,920 feet. Central Carson City, to the west, is at about 4,680 feet, and Dayton, down the grade to the east, is at about 4,384. That makes Mound House roughly 500 feet higher than its Lyon County neighbor. The Census Bureau does not publish figures for Mound House as its own place. It shares ZIP 89706 with north Carson City, so we do not quote population or housing numbers for it here. What we can say is drawn from county records, elevation data and fire maps. ## What does the wildfire data say about Mound House? Mound House has had a large fire named after it. The Moundhouse Fire of 1983, mapped at 2,345 acres, is centered about a mile from the community's center point. The Linehan Fire of 2006, mapped at 5,863 acres, is centered about 2 miles away. In all, 22 perimeters of 300 acres or more are mapped within about 10 miles since 1980. There is no Forest Service community record for Mound House, so the county figure applies. Lyon County's wildfire risk to homes ranks above 93% of US counties, and about 38% of the county's buildings sit in the direct exposure zone, where a building can be reached by flames from burning vegetation. The fuel here is brush and grass rather than forest. That is work for machines: [brush mowing and lot clearing](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/mound-house/lot-clearing-brush-mowing/) across open ground, then hand work near buildings. See [defensible space in Mound House](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/mound-house/defensible-space/). ## How dry is it? The nearest precipitation gauge with a 30-year normal is the Carson City 4.4 N station, 3.6 miles to the west, at 15.2 inches a year. The nearest snowfall normal is the Carson City station, almost 8 miles away, at 14 inches. Both stations are west of Mound House and closer to the mountains, so treat them as the upper end. Either way, any tree in Mound House is there because someone waters it. A tree whose irrigation is cut off declines over a few seasons, sheds dead wood and eventually becomes a removal. The 2023 USDA map puts ZIP 89706 in zone 7b, with average extreme winter lows of 5 to 10 degrees. ## Yards, shops and open parcels Much of the highway frontage through Mound House is commercial and industrial.
