Golconda

Among the settlements of Nevada, Golconda stands out for its 19th-century mining legacy in the Humboldt River valley. This small Humboldt County community lies beside Interstate 80, where the broad river corridor meets the slopes of the Sonoma Range. Prospectors worked the surrounding Golconda Mining District for gold, silver and other metals, and mining remains central to the area's identity. Golconda recalls the era when mineral discoveries brought settlers to northern Nevada. Today it is a quiet stop in the state’s high-desert interior, defined by the river valley and open basin country. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Nevada.
