2015 Map of Jarbidge South

About this map

Jarbidge sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the Jarbidge River carves through deep canyons and gulches within the Humboldt National Forest. This region is defined by its dramatic verticality, spanning from the Copper Basin in the southwest to the towering Jarbidge Mountains in the northeast. The geography reveals a complex network of volcanic and tectonic features, most notably the Little Jack Creek Crater and Jack Creek Crater situated near Bald Peak. Numerous named peaks like the Matterhorn and Jumbo Peak punctuating the skyline indicate the area's significance for early prospecting and mountain navigation. Water sources are abundant but seasonal, with drainage systems like Dead Horse Cr and Seventysix Cr feeding into the larger river systems that shaped the settlement patterns of northern Elko County.
