1937 Map of Jiggs

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Mound Valley and the surrounding high desert basins are depicted here as they appeared in the mid-1930s, showing a landscape defined by isolated family ranches and rugged mountain passes. The small settlement of Jiggs sits at the junction of several drainage routes, including Huntington Creek and Mc Cutcheon Creek. To the east, the Diamond Mts and the Ruby Valley region provide a backdrop for high-altitude landmarks like Pearl Peak and Sherman Mtn. This survey reveals the cattle and sheep ranching economy of the era through the naming of numerous properties such as the Sestanovich Ranch, Goyeneche Ranch, and Hylton Ranch. Transportation in this portion of Elko Co relies on critical crossings like Harrison Pass and Overland Pass, while local services are anchored by the Smith Creek Sch and the Harrison Pass Ranger Sta.
