About this map

The Humboldt River corridor dominates this high-desert landscape, serving as a primary artery for both transportation and water in this corner of Eureka and Elko Counties. The settlement of Carlin sits at the northeastern edge of the sheet, where local streets like Chestnut St and Bush St give way to the rugged surroundings of Marys Mtn. To the south, the smaller settlement of Tyrol is positioned near the river, reflecting the historical dependence on this waterway for life in the Great Basin.

Water sources are critical markers across the terrain, from the perennial flow of Marys Cr and Buckskin Jack Cr to isolated points like Cherry Spring and Warm Spring. The infrastructure of the area is defined by long-established routes such as Tomera Ranch Rd and Frenchie Rd, which provide access to ranching lands and remote peaks. This map captures the intersection of modern transit and the enduring topographical features that have guided movement through the region for generations.
