1959 Map of Jiggs

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Huntington Valley and the western slopes of the Humboldt National Forest define this ranching landscape in late-1950s Elko County. The settlement of Jiggs serves as a central point for a network of established family ranching operations, including the Zunino Ranch, Hansel Ranch, and Sestenovich Ranch. This era shows a community deeply tied to its water sources, with the Smith Creek School situated near the confluence of Cottonwood Creek and Smith Creek. To the east, the terrain rises toward the Ruby Mountains, marked by the Harrison Pass Guard Sta near Harrison Pass. The map reveals the intricate water management of the high desert, documenting numerous Springs and the course of Huntington Creek through the valley floor. Small-scale exploration is evident in the foothills with several Prospects and Tunnels mapped near the forest boundary.
