1943 Map of Jarbidge

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Jarbidge settlement stands as a focal point in this remote high-altitude landscape where the Jarbidge River carves deep canyons through the Humboldt National Forest. During the mid-twentieth century, the region's mining heritage remained visible through a cluster of operations such as the Success Mine, Bluster Mine, and Altitude Mine located near Jarbidge Peak. The map records a transition from industrial activity to forest management and ranching, evidenced by the Mahoney Ranger Station and scattered family holdings like Larios Ranch and Ward Ranch. The intricate drainage system, including the West Fork Marys River and numerous gulches, highlights the complex hydrology that supported both early prospectors and mid-century livestock operations. This 1943 survey provides a detailed record of the trails and cabins, such as Perkins Cabin, that served as essential landmarks in the high country before modern infrastructure reached the interior.
