1986 Map of Jarbidge North

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Jarbidge River carves a deep path through this high-elevation landscape on the border of Nevada and Idaho, where the Humboldt National Forest meets the vast plateau of the Table Desert. This mid-1980s provisional survey shows a remote environment defined by its drainage systems, from Buck Creek to Columbet Creek, and several named geographic flats such as Columbet Table and Wilkins Island. Human activity is concentrated along the river corridor, where the Mahoney Ranger Station and a nearby cemetery stand as landmarks of local management and settlement history. High-desert logistics are evident in features like the Landing Strip and the evocatively named Freighters Defeat trail, while multiple prospects near Moore Gulch indicate the area's legacy of mineral exploration. The map provides a look at this borderland before modern developments, preserving the locations of isolated springs like Cottonwood Spring that were vital for range life.
