1986 Map of Jarbidge South

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Jarbidge sits at the northern edge of this Elko County survey, serving as a gateway to the high-elevation mining and wilderness areas of the Humboldt National Forest. The map documents a significant history of extraction along the Jarbidge River, with numerous named sites such as the Altitude Mine, Pavlak Mine, and Elcoro Mine appearing alongside various unnamed shafts and adits. These workings are clustered near steep drainages like Bonanza Gulch and Snowslide Gulch, illustrating the difficult terrain encountered by prospectors in the Jarbidge Mountains. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the preserved lands of the Jarbidge Wilderness, where the headwaters of the Marys River and Fox Creek originate. High-altitude landmarks like Jarbidge Peak, Coon Creek Peak, and the Jack Creek Crater dominate the skyline, while established routes like Telephone Canyon and various pack trails provide the primary access through this remote portion of northeastern Nevada.
