1934 Map of Jiggs

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Mound Valley and the surrounding high desert of Elko County are defined by a network of family-run operations during the mid-1930s. The settlement at Jiggs serves as a central hub for the dispersed cattle ranching community, where names like Zunino, Hylton, and Bestanovich mark the drainage of Huntington Creek. To the east, the Ruby Mountains rise sharply, anchored by Pearl Peak and the remote Harrison Pass Ranger Station. The map illustrates a landscape of high-altitude life, from the Smith Creek School to the Davis Ranch Hobson Post Office near the White Pine County line. In the southwest, the barren expanse of Diamond Alkali Flat contrasts with the intricate creek systems like Cottonwood Creek and Pearl Creek that fed the valley's agricultural viability.
