1984 Map of Delcer Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Delcer Buttes and West Butte dominate this high-desert terrain, where water resources were the primary landmarks for ranchers and travelers in the early 1980s. Evidence of human activity in this arid landscape is concentrated around a few critical points like Frenchy Well and Dry Lake Well, which served as vital hydration stops in the transition between Ruby Valley and Butte Valley. The map shows a region shaped by natural drainage patterns and specialized land use, where Dry Lakes and the expansive Dry Lake Flat characterize the valley floors. Several scattered prospects on the eastern slopes indicate localized mineral exploration, while a Borrow Pit near the range boundary suggests small-scale material extraction for the few unimproved roads that cross this territory.
