2015 Map of Jiggs

About this map

Mound Valley and Huntington Valley define this ranching landscape in Elko County, where the High Desert terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways. At the center of the sheet, the small settlement of Jiggs is identified near its Po, serving as a central point for the remote area. The hydrology is dominated by Huntington Cr and its many tributaries, including Smith Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and McCutcheon Cr. The Zunino Reservoir stands as a significant water management feature in this arid environment. Transportation through the valleys is facilitated by a grid of county roads such as CR-716 and Circle Ranch Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and ranching operations characteristic of this region in the early twenty-first century.
