How to Use This Eureka, Nevada Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Eureka, Nevada. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Nevada or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Eureka.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Eureka, Nevada
Eureka is a locality in Eureka County, Nevada, United States. It is a small community with a population of 414. The population density is 123.7 people per km². Eureka is located at 39.5127°N, 115.9606°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 89316.Eureka emerges from the high desert floor as a persistent arrangement of brick and stone, anchored firmly against the expansive, sun-bleached silence of the Great Basin. It lies 86.2 miles south-southwest of Spring Creek, NV (from Spring Creek, NV: bearing 193°T), and is situated 91.8 miles south of Elko. The landscape is defined by the sharp, arid incline of Goodwin Canyon, which funnels the thin, cooling air of evening through the streets, while the silhouette of Target Hill looms as a constant, jagged sentinel over the rooftops. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar clarity, stripping away the hazy illusions of distance and revealing the pale, dusty hues of sagebrush that stretch toward the horizon. Three miles away, the intermittent flow of Simpson Creek traces a faint, verdant line through the dry earth, a modest reminder of the water that dictates the rhythm of life in this parched expanse.
Eureka retains the indelible character of its nineteenth-century origins, when the promise of silver and lead drew prospectors into the deep, echoing veins of the earth. The local economy continues to pulse with the slow, deliberate heartbeat of modern mining, ensuring that the heavy machinery of industry remains a familiar presence against the backdrop of historical storefronts and the stately courthouse. Life in Eureka moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, shaped by the isolation of the long highway and the resilience required to thrive in a climate where the rain shadow of the western peaks leaves the ground perpetually thirsty. It is a place where the architecture of the past—the weathered brick, the sturdy ironwork, and the narrow, purposeful windows—remains in active service, grounding the modern day in the stubborn, metallic history of its founding.

About This Eureka Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Eureka, Nevada. Coordinates: 39.512707, -115.960613. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Eureka includes the ZIP code (89316), telephone area code (702, 725), county seat of Eureka County (Eureka), and school district assignment (Eureka County School District).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
