2021 Map of Carlin East

About this map

Carlin serves as the primary hub along the Humboldt River, where an established street grid including Chestnut St and W Main St meets the historic transcontinental transportation corridor. The landscape is defined by the river’s path as it winds through Carlin Canyon, flanked by the smaller settlements of Vivian and Tonka. To the north, the Greenhorn Cutoff suggests early bypass routes across the high desert, while the northern reaches are drained by Maggie Creek and Susie Creek. Significant elevation changes are marked by Buckskin Mountain and the northern edge of the Pinon Range. This modern survey records the enduring footprint of Great Basin settlement, from the Carlin Cemetery to secluded water sources like Rye Patch Spring, illustrating how topography dictated the development of rail and road networks in Elko County.
