2012 Map of Carlin East

About this map

Carlin sits at the northern edge of the Pinon Range where the Humboldt River carves through the landscape, serving as a primary transportation hub for Elko County. This 2012 survey details the local infrastructure, from the Central Carlin Interchange to the Carlin Post Office and the Carlin Cemetery, while also capturing more remote agricultural landmarks like the Red House Ranch. The confluence of river and road is most dramatic at Carlin Canyon, where the modern interstate follows the ancient path of the water. To the north, historical routes like the Greenhorn Cutoff and Tuscarora Rd trace the path of earlier travelers through the desert. Small settlements and former rail sidings like Vivian and Tonka line the river valley, while the southern terrain rises toward Buckskin Mountain, punctuated by isolated water sources such as Rye Patch Spring.
