1986 Map of Jarbidge North

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Humboldt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Nevada and Idaho. The canyon carved by the Jarbidge River serves as a central artery for the region, where the Mahoney Ranger Station and a nearby Cem suggest a history of government administration and early mountain settlement. The terrain is defined by dramatic plateaus like Columbet and the Diamond A Desert, while the presence of a Landing Strip and named trails such as Freighters Defeat indicate the challenges of transportation and logistics in this remote area. Evidence of mineral exploration appears in several locations, including the Prospect Jack trail and scattered labels for Prospect and Prospects. Between the creek-cut drainages of Buck Creek and Columbet Creek, the map details a network of 4WD roads and pack trails that connected isolated camps and resources in the mid-1980s.
