None has a coastline: Nevada is landlocked.
Number key
Numbers follow alphabetical order, from 1 (Carson City) to 17 (White Pine). Carson City and Storey are too small for a number on Letter or A4 but keep their number in the table; Tabloid and A3 fit more. Area is land area, without lakes or sea, and population is the Census estimate for July 1, 2025; “Borders” counts neighboring counties in the same state.
