About this map

Ruby Valley dominates the northern reaches of this Elko County landscape, where the basin floor meets the rising slopes of the eastern high country. The terrain is defined by the seasonal movement of water through the Ruby Wash, which snakes across the western flats from its namesake roadway. Access through this portion of the Great Basin is centered on Ruby Wash Rd, a primary corridor that navigates the transition between the valley floor and the steep contours to the east. Farther south, the drainage of Cabin Run marks the descent toward the basin's edge. This 2018 survey illustrates a sparsely settled but strictly organized land system, revealing the precise boundaries of T28N R59E and surrounding townships that govern this open range.
