Halleck

Halleck lies along the Humboldt River, amid the sagebrush basins and dry mountain ranges of northeastern Nevada. This small community occupies the long east–west transport corridor that follows the river through Elko County, with Interstate 80 and a Union Pacific rail line passing nearby. Its name recalls Henry W. Halleck, a Union general and early U.S. Army chief of staff, reflecting the 19th-century railroad era that shaped settlements across this part of the Great Basin. Elko, the county seat, is the nearest larger centre and hosts the annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of northeastern Nevada.
