2018 Map of Robinson Creek

About this map

The E Fork Jarbidge River carves a deep path through this high-elevation landscape on the border of Idaho and Nevada. Located within the Humboldt National Forest, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between the Jarbidge Mountains and the arid expanse of the Inside Desert. Long-standing land use and migration patterns are evident in the network of named trails and forest roads, including the Robinson Hole Cutoff and the Altitude Trail. Distinctive topographic features like Sawmill Ridge, Palomino Bench, and Biroth Ridge suggest a history of local livestock grazing and timber management. Several water sources, such as Jim Bob Spring and Robinson Cr, provide critical points of interest in this remote section of Elko County, while canyons like Dove Creek Canyon mark the northern transition into Owyhee County.
