Empire, NV

The only store between Cedarville and Nixon.

Empire (pop. Tiny) truly is a company town. US Gypsum, owns the entire town. It exists to house the workers at the factory, which produces around 80% of the gypsum board (drywall) in the US.

The only real reason to visit Empire is for the store. It is the only store within 50 miles and is an official retail outlet for Burning Man merchandise.

Well there is a 9 hole golf course, but I have never been able to find out what the green fees run.
