2021 Map of Eureka

About this map

Eureka serves as the central hub of this Nevada landscape, where the historic Eureka County Court House stands amidst a cluster of local landmarks. The town is situated between the rising slopes of the Fish Creek Range to the west and the Diamond Mountains to the east, reflecting its origins as a mining center. Several burial sites, including Cedar Hills Cem, Schwab Cem, and Saint Brendans Catholic Cem, are clustered near the settlement, offering significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early families. To the south and east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with features like Ruby Hill, Target Hill, and the volcanic Crater Cone. Water sources are sparse but vital in this arid environment, evidenced by named locations such as Four-eyed Nicks Springs and Simpson Springs which break the dry canyons of the interior.
