2011 Map of Winnemucca East

About this map

Winnemucca sits at the nexus of the Great Basin's travel corridors, where the Humboldt River curves through the high desert landscape. This 2011 survey captures the eastern expansion of the city, showing the structured grid of streets alongside vital community hubs like the Humboldt County Fairgrounds and the Winnemucca Post Office. To the east and south, the terrain rises sharply into a series of dramatic topographical features. A network of canyons, including Water Canyon, Railroad Canyon, and Kluncy Canyon, channel seasonal drainage toward the valley floor. Notable landmarks such as Giants Grave and its associated Giants Grave Spring provide critical reference points for local history. The map also traces the complex hydrology of the region, from Santa Rosa Creek to the multiple forks of Thomas Creek, illustrating how water defines the habitable areas of the Nevada desert.
