1950, California Folklore Society, Western Folklore:
Informants said that this gulch was so named because the old road made a turn shaped like a jughandle in order to get down into the gulch and across it.
1955, Daniel Talbot, A Treasury of Mountaineering Stories:

2007, H. L. Trombley, The Voyage to Ruin:
"[…] I'd stake my—" he almost said "I'd stake my career on it," but since his career was long since dust and ashes, he swallowed the words and finished, "my ears on it, sir." "That's a considerable wager, Jem, as you've got the biggest jug-handles I've ever seen in all my days," said Captain Flynn.
