2021 Map of Buck Mountain West

About this map

The Ruby Mountains rise sharply above the floor of the Newark Valley on this western slope in White Pine County. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from high peaks, such as Buck Mtn, to the basin below where Newark Lake sits as a prominent desert feature. The drainage pattern is carved by seasonal or intermittent water sources like Deadman Cr and Moore Springs, which cut through the high-elevation terrain of Orchard Canyon. This high-desert environment shows very little modern development, with White Pine Co Road 1 serving as the primary corridor for traversing the valley floor. The map provides a clear record of the geological boundaries and township lines, including t21n r56e, that structure this sparsely populated corner of the Great Basin.
