1968 Map of Franklin Lake SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The arid drainage patterns of Ruby Valley (Depression) dominate this landscape in eastern Nevada as it appeared in the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the expansive Alkali Flat, where seasonal moisture and evaporation leave behind characteristic mineral deposits. Slicing through the southern portion of the sheet, the Ruby Wash provides a primary drainage corridor toward the valley floor, an essential geographical feature for understanding the hydrology of this high-desert basin. Human activity is indicated by sparse infrastructure, primarily a Jeep Trail that navigates the lower elevations and a lonely Well noted in the center of the valley. The map documents the vast, open character of the region before significant modern changes, preserving the locations of range fence lines and section boundaries such as those for Townships 28 and 29 North.
