Excerpt from A Reconnaissance of the Jarbidge, Contact, and Elk Mountain Mining Districts, Elko County, Nevada

As the districts had never been surveyed or mapped, control in the Jarbidge district was obtained by measuring with steel tape a base line about three-fourths of a mile in length, on the open ridge west of Deer Creek, about 1} miles northwest of J arbidge. From stations established at the ends of this base a system of triangula tion, indispensable in so rugged a country, was begun and carried on throughout the work concurrently with the contour and other sketching, and tied to Government township and section corner monu ments of the ninth standard parallel, found later in the southern part of the field.
