Or not? McDermitt was there before the state was formed and clearly no one there cared enough to realign it to the border. It is a curiosity regardless. Check it out in person and be sure to visit Rome on the way!

If you follow your map east or west it shows occasional zigs and zags, which is probably the correction needed at fine scale to make the line straight on a big scale. That it does that in a town may represent the mapping program wanting to follow typical man made borders?

It does not. The border is the geographic parallel and the town straddles it. There used to be a bar there that was split by the line. Orders were placed on the Oregon side to avoid NV sales tax.

More to the substance of Addison’s post, I lived in a shared 5 bedroom house for much of my 20s. It was mostly great, except for the neighbor who called the cops on us every day for 6 weeks after we built a skateboard ramp in the back yard until they told him we weren’t breaking the noise ordinance.
