1990 Map of Buck Mountain East

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Ruby Mountains and Buck Mountain define the high-elevation landscape of this White Pine County quadrant, captured during the late 20th-century mining and ranching era. The map records a terrain driven by the search for water and mineral wealth, evidenced by numerous Prospect locations and an Open Pit Mine near Alligator Ridge. The scarcity of water in this high-desert environment is highlighted by the distribution of isolated sources such as Cottonwood Springs, Woodchuck Spring, and Beck Spring, several of which include a Corral for livestock management. These vital points, along with Rock Springs and Willow Spring, represent the essential infrastructure for seasonal grazing in the region. The map also traces the transition into Long Valley to the east, marked by a linear Powerline and a network of unimproved trails that connect these remote mountain passes.
