Welcome to Eureka, Nevada!

My name is Rich McKay and I am one of the Eureka County commissioners.

My family has resided in Eureka since 1875 when the silver and lead mines were in full production and the town was booming ere were over 10,000 residents that lived in Eureka and another 4,000 living 4 miles away in Ruby Hill. Eureka supported over 100 saloons, dozens of gambling halls, theaters, multiple newspapers, hotels, restaurants, an opera house, as well as five fire companies Fun FactMy great grandfather, Alexander McKay, was a deputy sheriff and also ser ved as a constable. In 1878, Alexander was shot in the leg by a “stray” bullet - like many mining towns it was the Wild West Eureka is much calmer these days, but histor y thrives and there is still so much to do and enjoy

Mining has booms and busts and the population of Eureka today has closer to 1,000 permanent residents Despite being one of the most remote towns in America, Eureka is an excellent destination for anyone interested in Nevada’s mining histor y and ITS WIDE OPEN SPACES

multi-use routes, BLM roads and trails. Perfect for gravel grinders, mountain bikers, UT Vers, motorcycles and off roaders.

We are in the midst of another mining boom and the primar y mineral being mined today in Eureka County is gold. e local mines are mostly focused on exploration and expansion New ore deposits continue to be discovered Recently, work has begun on a Vanadium mine south of Eureka. Vanadium is considered a critical element for batter y development and steel hardening It will be the first vanadium mine in the United States

In many ways, visiting Eureka is visually like stepping back into the late 1800s e Victorian West buildings in our historic downtown are stunning. Almost all of the downtown businesses offer a free walking tour map – stretch your legs and get some exercise while you get a histor y lesson If you have kids and they (or you) need a break, cool off at the town’s swimming pool or have a picnic lunch at the town park If you are an outdoor enthusiast, checkout our many

Eureka has some of the best schools in the State of Nevada; we ver y oen achieve 5 star ratings Farming, ranching and mining are our main industries, but Eureka’s downtown business community is vibrant and growing We offer eclectic restaurants and charming coffee shops. You can get a haircut at the Jackson House Salon or a tattoo at e Eureka Tattoo shop. You can pick up a car batter y and automotive items at the Eureka Supply, fill up with gas at Champs, EZ Stop, or R aine’s Fuel Center and grab some groceries and camping supplies on your way out of town at R aines Market. If you don’t feel like driving and want to stay the night, we have several restaurants, four hotel/ motels, RV parks, and some beautiful and historic Airbnb vacation rentals.

Aer visiting our town, you may find you love Eureka and envision your future here. My family has been here for 149 years and counting Like many rural Nevadans, Eurekans are fiercely independent and self-reliant but they will also give you the shirt off their back if you need help. I hope you enjoy your visit to our historic Eureka, Nevada

Eureka was discovered in September of 1864 by silver prospectors, WR Tannehill, GT Tannehill, JW Smith and Moses Wilson from nearby Austin. ey were not disappointed as they found rock containing a silver-lead ore in New York Canyon, near the present site of Eureka

In 1869 Major William M McCoy and Alonzo Monroe selected a site for a town in what was known as Horse ief Canyon. e town was sur veyed on Januar y 27, 1870

A Post Office was established, then it was officially named “Eureka ” In 1873, Eureka became the county seat and was car ved out of Lander, Elko and White Pine Counties.

Eureka became a fast growing boomtown, coming in second only to the Comstock Lode of Virginia City. Life sprung up to support this growing community with ranchers, shops, three newspapers, doctors, lawyers, sur veyors, a railroad, churches and several schools

All working to build a life in Nevada. A large amount of growth was spurred in 1875, due to the completion of the Eureka Palisade R ailroad allowing the ore and resources to be shipped out and brought in

In the 1880s Eureka held one of the most eclectic international populations with folks coming from all over seeking their fame and fortune in the gold and silver mines of the Eureka Mining District Most notable were the Italian, Cornish, and Chinese immigrant populations contributing tremendously to the construction, mining,wood cutting and charcoal burning needed to keep the numerous mines and smelters running 50 mines produced gold, silver, lead and zinc for the 17 smelters that had processed up to 700 tons per day. In 1879, and in the 1880s, devastating fires and floods nearly destroyed all of the buildings in Eureka

e immigrant pioneers rebuilt the town, better and stronger each time. Today, Eureka is vibrant and alive with the blood of these immigrants flowing through her people

Two ver y prominent bloodlines in Eureka are the Italian and Basque descendants e Italians, also known as the Carbonari, arrived in the 1870s and 1880s to chop and transport wood to fuel the charcoal ovens. e Basques were enterprising sheepherders that came in the 1890s and early 1900s

R anching and farming are still ver y much a part of Eureka’s local farm to table experience and economy with alfalfa, Timothy hay, beef, bison, pork and lamb being major agricultural exports

From 1864 to the present day, Eureka County still has active and successful mining operations contributing to it’s vibrant economy

FARM TO TABLE

Farm to table not only benefits the restaurants and customers but also has great value to the community. By buying from local farmers and ranchers, the local economy is strengthened. e farm to table concept is changing how we value what we eat. By encouraging more local sourcing, we are seeing sustainable farming once again on the rise. e support is growing and not just with consumers but in every aspect from the local economies to community life.

Story and Photos by Trina Machacek

Now here is the scoop from the Diamond Valley girl herself, Trina Machacek. As the sun comes up over the top peak of our 10,631 foot Diamond Mountains, when the frost is cold, and the air is as

potatoes and other vegetables for farmers to sell in Eureka to the hungry miners and their families e ranchers also raised and supplied beef to the town and outlying areas.

It was in the late 1950’s when the US Government opened up Diamond Valley

pure and clean as a glass of our amazing well water, you can see the ground sparkle as though it were covered with diamonds. Frozen, dew-covered diamonds for as far as the eye can see In the foothills of Diamond Valley up the canyons you can find old and new ranch homesteads. Some dating back to the late 1860’s when the Basque, Italian and before them the Native Americans lived and flourished. e ranchers first brought cattle then sheep In 1864, the town of Eureka was “discovered” with its rich lead and silver ore. As mining grew, the mountains for over a hundred miles in every direction were stripped of every tree to make charcoal for the smelters, ore was processed to retrieve the precious metals that led the way to Eureka being on the map as a rich piece of Nevada mining history

Diamond Valley though, out in the flat, was home to rabbits, snakes, scorpions and maybe one or two places that grew

to become farms through the Land Act and the growth seen today began e land was available to anyone 18 and older who, before a five-year period was up, could “ prove ” the ground they claimed could sustain a farm

Sounded pretty good since all the farmer and his family had to do was clear the land, dig a well, put in a crop, grow that crop and then harvest it. It all looked good and worked well as long as the family had strong backs, a little seed money for equipment and the ability to borrow money to put in those wells. At the end of the five year grace period those farmers who came to Diamond Valley from all over the country found themselves in debt, but owners of their 320 acres per filing per person.

Over the years the farms became more and more productive Some families in Diamond Valley have been here since they opened their land in the 50’s. Some came, tried for a few years and le

Which always brought in new people who were willing to give farming in Diamond Valley a go

Because of the high altitude, cooler summer nights and learning the soil, water, and weather, Diamond Valley produces some of the best alfalfa and Timothy grass hays known worldwide.

For the biggest share of Diamond Valley, the farms are family owned and operated to this day.

e kids go to school kindergarten through 12th grade in Eureka. Usually graduating with an average class size of 12-20 students e schools are oriented to rural life with FFA, (Future Farmers of America,) 4-H, Grange and oh yes, an amazing high school rodeo Diamond Valley farms and ranches are proud to raise their amazing hay crops. More than that we have a grand farm to table group of producers who offer grass fed beef, bison, pork, and recently added were Merino sheep from the R aer 7 ranches e Merino sheep are said to have the soest wool in the world. Some say their wool is so fine it is used to make the Queen’s under garments Now that’s so!

Some farming families still grow fresh fruit and vegetables for sale locally We have a wonderful nursery in Diamond Valley, e Rusted Shack, that grows and sells plants throughout the spring e Vo-Ag class at the high school also has a green house where they grow plants to sell locally to raise money for supplies and adventures during the school year. Enjoy a tour up and down the roads in Diamond Valley Stop and talk over the fence if you see a farmer. ey are proud to tell you of our Diamond Valley and its sparkle

BIG OPEN RANGE

Growing up in Indiana on a dair y farm and later raising cattle and crop farming instilled in me a love for animals and the land that feeds both them and us. en when I was 17 my parents moved to Utah and I soon learned to love the west and all it had to offer. Big open ranges and cattle with plenty of room to roam.

In 2006 I moved to Eureka, Nevada, working in agriculture and spending a lot of time hunting and chasing mountain lion in the winters

In 2014, I purchased my own farm where we have 250 irrigated acres and crested wheat pasture and where I currently farm along with my wife, B enita daughter, Julie and twin boys, Dirk and Drew

So how did we get started with bison? Well, I’ve always had an interest in things that were a little different and the adventure that awaits You never know unless you tr y!

So in 2013 I bought three bison heifers from a neighbor that had them to train his cutting horses, with the intentions to finish them out and butcher them for myself and possibly resell a couple of them

en a friend of mine suggested that I get a bull and raise some calves and hence began the journey that has led us to this point

Over the years we have purchased more animals and kept our replacement heifers to slowly build our herd all the while growing an immense appreciation for bison.

eir adaptive nature and efficiency of grazing even when the snow gets deep makes them a clear choice for us where we can plant cover crops for regenerative agriculture practices and graze them late into the winter

Pine Valle y, the Center of Eureka County

Geographically as you travel State Highway 278 the 92 miles from Eureka to Carlin, Nevada and up onto the east west route of Interstate 80, lays Pine Valley ere are many roads in the world, but the road that takes you through Pine Valley is one that at all times of the year has color, mountains, a creek with beaver, livestock with baby calves in spring and wildlife that call it

cowman to come into Pine Valley and establish a working ranch in the early 1870’s. But the ver y first settler to come in and plop down as his home, was old Bill Denay He took up a homestead on Denay Creek in 1862.

e cattlemen and women who settled Pine Valley supplied beef to the first residents of Palisade. Palisade grew in the 1860’s from the railroad, early mining and settlers crossing along the California trail.

home Marked along the route by the ranch wonderful mail boxes and signs, the people that live in Pine Valley are the kindest, hard-working familyoriented souls that cover the miles of Pine Valle. Ever y mile from the JD turnoff to the Carlin House of the Ladies of the Night, the Dovetail R anch. Quite a diverse and interesting part of Eureka County

Governor Lewis Bradley, the second governor of Nevada was the first

Today the farm/familyowned ranches in our beautiful Pine Valley, along what at first looks, like it may be void of life, is actually alive and bubbling with activity all year long.

Families raise 4-H knowledgeable kids that may go out to see the world, but more oen than not they will return to a life that has few restrictions and many rewards. As Pine Creek flows through the valley, it brings in abundant wildlife. Deer, antelope, mountain lions and bobcats Many types of sport birds from geese to sage hen and chukar are found throughout the valley

Pine Valley wasn’t always just cows.

e Eureka Land & Livestock Company ran sheep, up to 8000 head annually, on the ground from Roberts Creek to Palisade. Over time the cattlemen bought out the sheep grazing rights and today cattle are the main asset of Pine Valley. e ranchers also put-up grass

hay to see the herds through the winters Winters that sometimes last from September to April! Not always hard but sometimes long

ere are other smaller valleys that ring Pine Valley up the draws in the foothills One is Denay [sounds like Daney} Valley ; it’s part of the drainage ey are just mini-valleys, you might say, within Pine Valley. Pine Creek runs north and drains into the Humboldt Pine Creek starts up at the little pass to the south of Horse Creek off of Mount Tenabo Horse Creek is the main tributar y off the head of it. Garden Creek and Denay Creek run into it, but they come in from the south Pine Creek runs a bit north of east until it comes to Blackburn. ere’s a big bend in the creek there that goes north, then turns north to the Green Springs. At Green Springs it turns almost due west into a little narrow canyon and it makes a circle to the north and then another circle back to the west. at’s almost a little "S" shape through Pine Creek Canyon Just a mile from where it empties into the Humboldt River. Pine Creek will run all year However, most of the tributaries dr y in late summer when the snow has melted in the high countr y. We invite you to stop along the way through Pine Valley and get out and stand and listen to the sounds. From the wind to the meadow larks sitting on fence post in spring to the eagles and crows playing in the updras. Breathe in our freedom Trust me, we know how blest and lucky we are to live in Eureka County. anks for visiting.

Crescent Valle y, Eureka County A Growing Idea since the 50’s

Written by Trina Machacek

Sometime in the late 1950’s a real estate agent acquired several hundred acres in a small crescent shaped valley that is located on the western border of Eureka County some 19 miles south of Interstate 80 From that acquisition he started to develop plots of land in 40-acre parcels which were sold, as the stor y goes, for a dollar down and a dollar a week. Of course that is not true, but the price of the land parcels in Crescent Valley have always been affordable. e parcels too, are of var ying sizes from lots on the Crescent Valley townsite plat to the 40-acre parcels that are still being sold today. In 1963 Cresent Valley was “put on the map ” with the introduction of a small Village Post Office located inside of a small general store. e fluctuation of population has made it thus to close the local post office. Now the mail is delivered to a bank of boxes that are located at the Fairgrounds e mail today is delivered to Cresent Valley and the neighboring community of B eowawe from the post office in Carlin, Nevada.

For the most part, the community of Cresent Valley has grown into an always developing space of a one mile by one mile square. Within that square are homes, businesses, Eureka County offices, Eureka County Road Depart-

ment, Crescent Valley elementar y school. And a landing strip to the south. Outside of the main populated square there are homestead that have rugged “off-the-grid” sur vivors to those who have come to settle and love the wide openness of their valley

Most of the residents have found their way to Cresent Valley to work for the local gold mines in the area Gold production is the main tax base for Eureka County and the payroll the mines pay lends way too many workers to live in RV’s during their work week and oen have families living elsewhere.

But! ose who have chosen to come

and live in this part of Eureka County would put their freedom and happiness up against anyone in the city.

B esides the gold mines northern Nevada and Eureka County sits on a natural fault of geothermal ground. is has produced another source of work available for the community.

Cresent Valley has always been a place that is full of strong minded and hearty people. It is an area that is as beautiful to those who choose to live there as any white sand beach or downtown condo It’s an acquired taste But like ever y part of Nevada, once you have had a taste you want to drink it in forever

Where the railroad c aused a town to become

Written by Trina Machacek

B eowawe, pronounced, BE OH WOW EE, is a Paiute Native American word that means gate.

Named for the spot where it sits, ringed by mountains that give it a look like an opening, or gate, to the valley the land pours into With an elevation of 4,695 feet above sea level, Beowawe is one of three unincorporated towns within Eureka County e 4,695 foot level puts it clouds higher than Denver, the mile high city. But for Eureka County which is all high mountain desert the elevation of Beowawe lends itself to being warmer than Eureka the county seat some 120 miles to the south. In 1868 the railroad traversed through what is now Beowawe. Although driving through Beowawe, over the railroad tracks on your way to Crescent Valley 20 miles to the south, or to Interstate 80 five miles to the north, the village is much more than just a wide spot in the road

Residents of B eowawe are scattered and some have developed their pieces of paradise as off the grid Others have and continue to car ve out homes and lives that suit them just right.

Two of the many main attractions to see in Beowawe are the geothermal power plant to the north, and the Maiden’s Grave about eight miles to the south east of Highway 306 that goes right through the main part of the little town.

As part of the California Trail leading

settlers to the ever growing west throughout the years, Gravelly Ford an important site on the trail is just to the East of B eowawe.

Out that same way is the Maiden’s Grave sitting on a knoll overlooking the trail that took many settlers from East to West As the stor y goes, a tall cross in the B eowawe cemeter y marks the burial spot of Lucinda Duncan. Lucinda was a kindly, older woman who others on the trip began to think of as the grandmother of the party. Sadly, she died on the trail in 1863. Workers building the Central Pacific R ailroad first noted the grave along the Humboldt River, and in 1906, it was moved to the hillside cemeter y when the Union Pacific moved the tracks to where they lay today. It is quite an

impressive sight and testament to the hearty souls that settled the west

e other remarkable part of the B eowawe area, other than the mining of gold which is the biggest industr y in this part of Eureka County, is the development of a geothermal power plant to the north of B eowawe In the winter month especially you can see the plumes of steam rising from the plant. Eureka County sits along a fault that holds underground hot water that has been converted to power.

e steam is not from what some think is a geyser, rather it is from a free-flowing underground uncapped geothermal well. An amazing part of this part of the State of Nevada

We are diverse in ever y 4,180 square miles of Eureka County.

Eureka was discovered in September of 1864 by silver prospectors, WR Tannehill, GT Tannehill, JW Smith and Moses Wilson from nearby Austin.

ey were not disappointed as they found rock containing a silver-lead ore in New York Canyon, near the present site of Eureka.

In the 1880s 50 mines produced gold, silver, lead and zinc for the 17 smelters that had processed up to 700 tons per day.

Eureka, Nevada was the nation’s first important silver-lead district, and was Nevada’s second richest mineral producer during the 1800s.

in Mining

From 1864 to present day, Eureka, Nevada still has active mining. C ompanies continue to explore and process gold, silver, vanadium, and other precious minerals. ese mining companies not only contribute greatly to Eureka’s economy, they generously donate to our community organizations and events.
