About this map

The Jarbidge Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in northeastern Nevada, captured here during a mid-1980s provisional survey. As part of the Humboldt National Forest, the terrain is dominated by the Jarbidge Wilderness, a region where drainage patterns dictate the landscape's character. Significant peaks such as Gods Pocket Peak and Marys River Peak No 2 anchor the central and southern portions of the sheet, while the alpine waters of Jarbidge Lake and Emerald Lake sit tucked below the western ridges.

Hydrological networks are prominently detailed, showing the headwaters for the Jarbidge River East Fork and the Marys River. The mapping of features like Slide Rock Ridge and Biroth Ridge illustrates the complex verticality of the Great Basin's wilderness. Several pack trails wind through the canyons, including routes along Pack Trail Creek and Cottonwood Creek, reflecting the primary means of access through this undeveloped mountain range during the late twentieth century.
