The GNIS locates Gilpin[1] on the south side of the Truckee River, which is where there was a non-agency siding between Thisbe and Fernley on the Southern Pacific Railroad.[2] The siding was abandoned in 1959.[2]

In the 1930s, the site of Gilpin was on the north side of the river in Washoe County.[3] In 1905, Captain Matt Barach laid out a townsite at the Washoe County side. At that time a road to Olinghouse was planned but never built.[2] Gilpin can be accessed via the Painted Rock exit on Interstate 80.

A nearby rest area on Interstate 80 is named Gilpin.[4]
