About this map

Ruby Mountains foothills descend into the expansive Ruby Valley in this detailed survey of Elko County. The western edge of the map is dominated by the high elevations of the Humboldt National Forest, where steep drainages like Muers Cr and Battle Cr carve through the landscape. This area provides a clear view of the hydrological transition from the peaks to the valley floor, where the Franklin River and Colonel Moore Cr move across the flatter terrain.

Water is a defining characteristic of this arid region, highlighted by the presence of Millers Hot Springs on the valley floor. The map also records localized infrastructure names such as Graveyard N and Graveyard 1, likely indicating older routes or localized landmarks near the forest boundary. The southeastern portion of the map is marked by the braided channels of the river system as it enters the wetlands of the valley, while Overland Cr and Griswolds Cr define the southwestern drainage patterns.
