About this map

Jackpot stands at the border of Elko County and Idaho, a gaming and aviation outpost defined by its distinct street names like Ace Dr, Lady Luck Dr, and Keno Dr. The town is supported by the Jackpot Airport/Hayden Field and is bisected by the primary north-south artery of the high desert. To the west, the landscape rises toward the elevation of Browns Bench, while the eastern portion of the map shows the more isolated settlement of Delaplain along the southern reach of Delaplaine Rd.

The area is deeply influenced by the passage of travelers through time, as evidenced by the California Trail National Back Country B crossing the terrain. Water sources are vital in this arid environment, with Salmon Falls Cr and Shoshone Cr carving through the plateau. Historians can trace modern infrastructure against older routes like Old Hwy US 93, documenting the evolution of this remote border crossing.
