2012 Map of Jarbidge North

About this map

Jarbidge anchors the southern edge of this Nevada-Idaho border region, a landscape defined by deep drainages and remote high-country ranches. The Jarbidge River carves a central path northward, flanked by the treacherous terrain of Freighters Defeat and the isolated Big Island. This area in Elko County serves as a gateway to the wilderness, where established landmarks like Larios Ranch and Ward Ranch mark the human footprint in an otherwise dominant network of canyons including Cow Creek Canyon and Corral Creek Canyon. The map reveals a high-elevation plateau at Columbet Table and documents the primitive transportation network, such as Buck Creek Rd and Deer Creek Grades Rd, that connects these scattered outposts. Recreational sites like the Sawmill National Forest Campground and Jack Creek Camp illustrate the transition from early ranching and freighting roots to modern public land usage.
