2011 Map of Golconda Butte

About this map

The Humboldt River carves a complex course through this corner of Nevada, defined by the winding channels of the Pioneer Slough. This modern survey documents a landscape of ranching and transit, where the C-S Ranch and the small settlement of Eglon sit along the river's path. To the north, the terrain rises toward the prominent landmark of Golconda Butte, while the valley floor is marked by low-lying features like The Island. The infrastructure of the Interstate 80 corridor is evident at Button Point and Bliss, showing the evolution of this historic travel route from its days as a pioneer trail to a major western thoroughfare. Local transit is further illustrated by names like Dutch Flat Rd and Marcus Dr, which provide access to the remote ranchlands and high desert terrain characteristic of the region.
