Imlay is an unincorporated town in Pershing County, Nevada, United States.[2] It has an elementary school, a general store, a post office, and a trading post. As of the 2010 census, the population was 171.[3]

It is a nearly abandoned railroad town, named for a nearby mine or for the civil engineer who surveyed the town circa 1907.[4][5] Its most notable feature is a series of strange buildings called Thunder Mountain Monument. These structures were built as a monument to Native American culture by a World War II veteran who called himself Thunder.[6]

Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know? public radio show featured Imlay as the "Town of the Week" on its December 5, 2009, show. They mentioned Thunder Mountain Monument[7] as one of the premier draws to the area.
