As of the 2010 census the population was 171.[2] It is a nearly abandoned railroad town, named for a nearby mine or for the civil engineer who surveyed the town circa 1907.[3][4] 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.[5] 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[6] as one of the premier draws to the area. GeographyImlay is located in northern Pershing County, Nevada, along Interstate 80, with access from Exit 145.
