About this map

The Humboldt River corridor dominates this high-desert landscape, serving as the primary artery for both transportation and settlement. The town of Carlin is the central hub, with its street grid including names like School St and Railroad St reflecting the community's civic and industrial foundations. To the west of the town center lies the Carlin Cemetery, while the small sidings or settlements of Vivian and Tonka sit further east along the river's winding path through the Carlin Canyon.

North of the river, the Greenhorn Cutoff tracks through a series of creek drainages, including Maggie Cr and Susie Cr, signaling the historical transit routes that preceded modern highways. The southern portion of the map transitions into the high-elevation terrain of the Piñon Range, where landmarks like Buckskin Mtn and the isolated Rye Patch Spring mark a more sparsely populated environment defined by seasonal water sources and rugged topography.
