1969 Map of Franklin Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Rock House (Ruby Valley PO) stands at the base of the Ruby Mountains, serving as a primary settlement point in this high-altitude landscape. The map details a transition from the steep summits of King Peak and Tipton Peak down to the eastern Alkali Flat and the Franklin Lake basin. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals a rugged interior managed by the Humboldt National Forest, where high-mountain water sources like Overland Lake feed several canyon systems including Dawley Canyon and Mayhew Canyon. Traces of local habitation and industry appear in the form of isolated Mine sites and Prospects, alongside the W Gardner Ranch and an Indian Village. The presence of an Indian Graveyard Basin and a Cem near the forest boundary provides significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the early footprint of Ruby Valley residents.
