I am trying to find out the number or percentage of acres or square
miles of federally owned land broken down by county for the state of
Nevada. Thanks.

Hi saratoga:

I was able to find a list for you of the amount of federal land in
each Nevada county on the Nevada State Library and Archives Site:

http://dmla.clan.lib.nv.us/docs/nsla/sdc/federal-stat.htm

This list is up-to-date as of 2000 and shows the amount of federal
land (in acres) per county as well as the percentage of each county
that is federally owned.

If you are looking to find the percentage of total Nevada federal land
that is in each county, I have computed it for you below:

Carson City       .14%
Churchill        4.48%  
Clark            7.36%
Douglas           .00068%
Elko            15.65%
Esmeralda        3.25%
Eureka           3.81%
Humboldt         8.84%
Lander           5.12%
Lincoln          9.70%
Lyon             1.84%
Mineral          3.50%
Nye             16.45%
Pershing         5.49%
Storey            .24%
Washoe           6.02%
White Pine       8.11%

I hope this helps you out. :-)

Thanks.
