Welcome to Eureka County, Nevada

Eureka County is located in Central Nevada, bordering Elko, Nye and Lander Counties. Its lands were derived from Elko, Lander and White Pines counties in 1873. Mild temperatures, fresh high desert air, stunning mountain views and the Humboldt River make Eureka County an outdoor playground. Hunting and fishing are readily available. Average temperatures are approximately highs of 87 in July and average low of 10 in December. Eureka County's population has increased at a comfortable rate of 30% in the last 10 years. Crescent Valley is a beautiful area.

Located in Crescent Valley is the small town of 325 located 20 miles south of I80 . The town has a newer school, park, library, health clinic, volunteer fire department, ambulance and fairgrounds. The Cortez Gold Mine is the major employer and property owners repeatedly tell me the area is rich in minerals. Click here for an area map.

The picture of the farm with the hay bales was taken north of Eureka, the county seat. It is one of the many farms seen in the county - absolutely beautiful! The second picture is the Humboldt River flowing just north of Crescent Valley.

The pictures below are of my favorite farm that sits south of Interstate 80 as you enter Crescent Valley. The first picture was taken in June 2004 and the picture of the bison was taken in the fall of 2003. It is always a beautiful sight to see this farm!

Beautiful pictures of the valley in wintertime and fall.

The first picture below was taken of the Cortez Mountains in Crescent Valley just as the sun had barely set. Can you find the hidden bunny in the second picture? The Humboldt River overflowing its banks and some of the miniature springtime flowers blooming! May 2005

Beautiful fields of yellow flowers blooming as we traveled our way down the valley and the more miniature springtime flowers! May 2005

A trip through Corral Canyon a few miles to the west of the town of Crescent Valley was a beautiful drive as seen in the next four pictures. The road snakes between a beautiful colored canyon with the creek running along the side of the road. A variety of animals call this home including these chukar who chirped loudly to each other as they scrambled up the rocks to safety! Way cool! July 2005
