2021 Map of Franklin Lake NW

About this map

The Ruby Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in northeast Nevada, where the ridgeline separates the headwaters of numerous creeks flowing toward the eastern valley floor. Within the Humboldt National Forest, prominent summits like King Peak and Tipton Peak overlook a complex network of alpine features and drainages. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Ruby Valley, where the terrain levels out near the settlement of Rock House. This area is defined by a traditional ranching and mountain economy, evidenced by the numerous canyon trails and named water sources like Overland Creek and Mayhew Creek.
