Maena is an unincorporated area located in Nye County, Nevada, United States, in the arid desert region of the east-central part of the state. Its geographic coordinates are approximately 38°23'N, 116°24'W, and its elevation is about 1,800 meters above sea level. Typical basin and mountainous landscapes dominate the area around Mena, with a dry climate and sparse vegetation.
Maena has its origins in the mining boom of the late 19th century, and briefly prospered from the nearby gold and silver mines. With the depletion of the mineral resources, the population was gradually lost and today only a small number of inhabitants remain, with an economy based on pastoralism and limited tourism. The area retains some of its historic mining sites, which attract adventure enthusiasts.
Myrna is connected by interstate highway to the towns of Eureka and Erie, and the nearest major city, Reno, is about 370 kilometers away. Parts of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest are in the vicinity, but the overall area is remote with limited public services. The area is known for its open desert landscape and stargazing conditions.
