1937 Map of Jiggs

About this map

Mound Valley and the surrounding high basins of northeastern Nevada are defined here by a network of family ranches and remote post offices during the mid-1930s. The settlement of Jiggs serves as a central point for the ranching community, while further south, the Davis Ranch Hobson PO provides a vital link for those living near the Ruby Valley line. This landscape is a high-altitude ranching economy where water sources like Huntington Creek and Smith Creek dictate the placement of homesteads such as the Hylton Ranch and Sadler Ranch. The topographic detail highlights the formidable barrier of the Ruby Mountains, with prominent summits like Pearl Peak and Harrison Pass marking the eastern horizon. Genealogists can trace early twentieth-century land use through named landmarks like Johnson Cabin and the Smith Creek Sch, documenting a way of life deeply tied to the terrain of Garcia Flat and the Diamond Hills.
