2012 Map of Franklin Lake NE

About this map

Ruby Valley serves as the central geographic anchor for this northeastern Nevada landscape, where water resources define the sparse human presence. The northern section is marked by Smith Ranch, positioned near the convergence of Myers Cr and Battle Cr. These seasonal drainages, along with Colonel Moore Cr and the Franklin River, highlight the critical role of riparian corridors in the high desert environment. Local transportation is facilitated by Co Hwy 788 and Nfd 512 Rd, which connect the ranching homesteads to the wider region. Of particular interest to those studying local hydrology or natural landmarks is the presence of Millers Hot Springs, while the southern reaches are dominated by the winding paths of Overland Cr and Griswolds Creek.
